#15434. Modern brick facade with contrasting panoramic windows

This modern house presents a striking example of harmonious combination of traditional brick architecture with contemporary elements. The facade is divided into two distinct parts: bright red brick cladding and a sloped roof with integrated dormer windows. Particularly notable is the contrasting composition of the facade, where traditional brickwork sits alongside a minimalist large panoramic window with a black frame, occupying a significant portion of the upper floor.

The architectural solution demonstrates an interesting approach to extending or reconstructing an existing building, as evidenced by the connection with the older part of the house on the left. The modern addition uses the same roof slope but reinterprets traditional elements. The lower floor is also equipped with a wide panoramic window, creating a sense of openness and connection with the exterior space.

The facade design successfully utilizes a combination of textures: rough brickwork contrasts with the smooth surface of glass. The minimalist approach to details, expressed in clean window frame lines and absence of excessive decoration, gives the building a contemporary look despite using traditional materials. This technique can be successfully applied when designing a private home — the contrasting combination of traditional materials with modern architectural elements creates an individual and expressive exterior appearance.
