#12622. Monolithic brick facade with asymmetrical geometry

This modern house showcases a striking example of minimalist architecture using a brick facade that creates a monolithic, sculptural form. The architectural solution features an asymmetrical silhouette with a pronounced sloping roof that smoothly transitions into the wall, creating a unified building envelope.

The brickwork is executed with impeccable precision, with horizontal lines emphasizing the building's geometry and giving rhythm to the facade. The solution with no visible gutters or cornices is particularly interesting — clean lines without protruding elements enhance the contemporary aesthetic. The brick color — a rich terracotta — harmoniously integrates the building into the surrounding natural landscape.

Window openings are minimalist and strategically positioned: narrow vertical windows on the upper level and wide sliding doors on the ground floor. The contrast between the massiveness of the brickwork and the transparency of glass surfaces creates an interesting architectural dynamic. The absence of protruding window frames emphasizes the integrity of the volume.

This facade solution can be adapted for a private home using the following techniques: monochromatic brickwork to create textural unity; geometrically clean forms without decorative elements; integration of architectural volumes where the roof and walls are perceived as a single entity; minimalist window openings without visible frames; and a small private terrace designed in the same style as the main building.
