This charming brick house is an excellent example of Victorian architecture with Gothic Revival elements. The building stands out with its characteristic turret with a conical roof, giving it a fairytale, almost castle-like appearance. The facade is crafted from red brick with contrasting gray window frame elements, creating an exquisite interplay of textures and colors.
The architectural composition is rich in details: arched windows with semi-circular tops, symmetrically placed on the facade; expressive brick chimneys rising above the pitched roof; decorative elements in the form of contrasting bands on the facade, giving the building a rhythmic quality. Particularly noteworthy is the round tower with a conical spire, covered in slate tiles with characteristic patina.
The building is organically integrated into the surrounding landscape — green lawn and trees frame the structure, creating an impression of seclusion and harmony with nature. The gravel path leading to the entrance emphasizes the intimacy and elegance of the architectural solution.
When designing a modern facade, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting combination of the main material and trim around openings, expressive vertical accents in the form of turrets or bay windows, the use of arched windows to create a romantic image, as well as playing with textures and natural materials. Skillful application of these elements will create an expressive and memorable appearance for the house, while avoiding excessive decorativeness.
