The building presented showcases a classic Colonial style with a brick facade. This two-story symmetrical mansion is executed in a traditional Georgian manner, characterized by strict symmetry and formality. The red-brown brick masonry creates a solid, substantial appearance typical of American colonial architecture.
The facade is organized with a rhythmic arrangement of windows - five on each floor, all framed with dark gray wooden shutters, which create an expressive contrast against the brick wall. The central entrance is accentuated by a classical portico with a triangular pediment and white columns, emphasizing the significance of the entry zone. The dark front door with sidelights adds elegance to the composition.
The facade is complemented by neat landscaping - symmetrically planted evergreens frame the entrance staircase, creating an orderly, formal approach to the house. The gray roof with a gentle slope completes the composition, providing the building with classical proportions.
When designing your own facade in a similar style, pay attention to the balanced placement of windows, the contrasting combination of brickwork and window frames, and the central accent of the entrance group. Another important technique is the consistent use of classical proportions and symmetry, which gives the building a timeless elegance.
