This is an outstanding example of country architecture in the Arts and Crafts style with elements of rustic design. The facade of the house represents a masterful combination of natural stone and wooden shingle cladding. Particularly noteworthy are the massive stone pillars and walls of the first floor, made of roughly processed boulders of various sizes, which create a sense of organic connection with the surrounding landscape.
The facade demonstrates an asymmetrical composition with a pronounced character and textural diversity. The right part of the building features a semi-circular stone tower with traditional window frames. The central section includes a covered veranda on the second floor with wooden railings, supported by massive stone columns. The left wing has a more traditional form but also harmoniously combines stone and wood.
The architectural details deserve special attention: brick chimneys contrasting with stonework; wooden cladding of the upper floors, adding warmth; a stone arch on the right flank, creating the atmosphere of a medieval castle. Windows of various sizes and shapes are positioned according to internal functional needs rather than strict symmetry.
When designing your own facade in a similar style, it's worth paying attention to the use of contrasting natural materials, the importance of textural diversity, and techniques for zoning different parts of the building using architectural elements. Stone masonry using local materials not only gives the building character but also visually "roots" it in the landscape, while wooden elements soften the overall appearance.
