Before us stands an impressive example of coastal Shingle style architecture, characteristic of the US East Coast. The façade is clad in cedar shingles of a warm amber hue, creating an organic connection with the natural surroundings and giving the building an elegant yet cozy atmosphere.
The architectural composition features complex and interesting geometry: asymmetrical arrangement of elements, multi-level roofs, and a distinctive octagonal tower with large windows providing panoramic views. Particularly expressive is the entrance group with classical white columns forming a covered porch with arched openings, which softens the transition between exterior and interior.
The façade is rich with meticulously crafted details: a round attic porthole window, numerous rectangular windows with mullioned glazing, decorative brackets under the eaves, and stone masonry on the right wing of the building creating an interesting contrast with the wooden cladding. A bright accent is introduced by the red entrance door, which serves as the focal point of the entire composition.
For private construction, several techniques can be borrowed from this project: combining different textures (wood, stone); using contrasting color accents on the entrance group; applying architectural details such as round windows and decorative brackets; creating transitional spaces between the house and the property in the form of porches and terraces; and playing with roof geometry to create a dynamic and memorable building silhouette.
