#15304. Modernist brick façade with expressive bay windows and red window framing

The presented image showcases an expressive example of mid-20th century modernist architecture. The central three-story house stands out against neighboring buildings with its brown brick façade and characteristic use of bay windows with distinctive red window frames.

Particularly noteworthy is the geometric composition of the façade: the central bay window on the ground floor creates a dynamic projection, supported by more restrained window groupings on the upper floors. The red window frames serve as a bright accent against the background of brickwork, emphasizing the rhythmic structure of the façade.

The entrance is designed laconically, with a small porch and steps leading to a white door. A low fence separates the small front yard from the street, creating a transition zone between public and private space.

When designing your own house, you could borrow several techniques: contrasting framing of window openings to create an expressive accent; using bay windows not only to increase interior space but also as an element of architectural composition; balanced asymmetry of the façade, giving the building individual character while maintaining overall harmony.
