An interesting house that sits at the crossroads of country and half-timbered styles.

One unusual detail is the color of the thermowood beams along the top of the facade.

In the traditional take on half-timbered houses, these beams are usually dark.

For this project I chose white, which adds lightness and freshens up the facade.

By using decorative beams and alternating two colors of plaster on the second floor, I disguised the asymmetric windows on the main gable—and their complete absence on the side facade. Diagonal sections let me tie the carport into the overall look of the house.
