The image showcases an expressive fragment of a brick façade with a distinctive decorative element—an arched crown. The key feature of this architectural solution is the contrasting masonry of red and light-colored bricks, forming a geometric checkerboard pattern in the upper section. This technique, known as "polychrome brickwork," gives the otherwise strict façade dynamism and visual interest.
The lower part of the façade is decorated with a more complex geometric pattern created by protruding and recessed bricks forming a diamond ornament. This "relief masonry" technique enhances the play of light and shadow on the wall surface, adding depth and texture to the façade. The central element of the composition is a tall arched window with simple glazing, which serves as a focal point and gives the structure a classic elegance.
Similar decorative techniques can be successfully adapted for modern private construction. When designing the façade of your own home, using contrasting masonry, geometric patterns, or even imitation of historical techniques will create a unique building appearance without significantly increasing the construction budget.
