This is an expressive example of modern architectural renovation of a historic house. Before us stands a brick mansion that has undergone a bold modernist transformation. The facade presents an interesting dialogue between classical architecture (the left part with a characteristic bay window and pitched roof) and contemporary minimalist design (the right section with vertical glazing in a black frame).
The main feature of the updated facade is the contrasting combination of materials and forms. The original light yellow brickwork has been preserved and juxtaposed with a modern black insert, creating a vertical accent. An impressive design element is the tall panoramic windows that visually unite the second and third floors, bringing maximum natural light into the house and creating an effect of transparency.
The entrance area is executed using warm wooden textures, which softens the strict geometry of the black elements. The concrete porch with minimalist steps emphasizes the contemporary character of the reconstruction. Particularly noteworthy is the contrast between the traditional pitched roof of the historical part and the flat lines of the modern insert.
When developing your own facade, similar techniques could include: contrasting combination of historical and contemporary materials; using vertical elements to visually divide the facade; large-format glazing to create an effect of transparency; accent lighting to highlight architectural details; maintaining balance between old and new during reconstruction.
