The presented image showcases an impressive facade of a contemporary building made of terracotta brickwork with an unusual dynamic structure. The distinctive feature of this facade lies in its three-dimensional texture, created by offsetting the bricks relative to each other, which produces a wave-like surface effect.
The facade stands out against the neighboring more traditional beige buildings with its rich terracotta color and innovative approach to bricklaying. The architect skillfully utilized the play of light and shadow that changes throughout the day, creating a constantly transforming visual effect. Window openings are organically integrated into the facade structure, becoming part of the overall composition.
This example demonstrates how a traditional material—brick—can be used in modern, almost parametric design. In residential architecture, a similar technique can be adapted on a smaller scale: creating an accent wall with protruding brickwork, using partial offset of elements to create texture, or applying contrasting colors of masonry to highlight individual architectural elements of the house.
