This charming structure represents a striking example of a traditional half-timbered house situated above water. The architectural composition possesses a unique character due to the combination of various building materials and techniques. The upper floor is executed in classic half-timbered style with characteristic wooden frame and white plastered sections between the beams, creating a recognizable contrasting pattern on the house facade.
The lower tier of the building, constructed from stone and brick, deserves special attention. The massive red brick arch serves not only as a structural element but also creates a passage for boats, indicating the functional purpose of the building as a former boathouse or small pier. The transition from the stone foundation to the half-timbered upper level emphasizes the tectonics of the structure and visually lightens the construction.
The roof with terracotta tiles has a steep form traditional for this type of building and harmoniously completes the composition. The open veranda with wooden railings, which extends over the water and provides a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, adds particular expressiveness to the facade.
When designing modern facades, similar techniques can be utilized: contrasting combination of materials (wood, stone, plaster), expressive structural elements that become part of the decorative solution, as well as functional open spaces integrated into the main volume of the building, which creates additional plasticity and dynamics in the architectural solution.
