The image shows a fragment of a brick façade with an expressive architectural solution. The façade is made of terracotta brick in a warm orange-red hue, creating a rich surface texture. The central element of the composition is a double wooden window with a dark frame and traditional division into four panes.
Of particular interest is the decorative treatment around the window opening. Above the window is a wedge-shaped lintel with a central keystone, laid out in a fan-like brick pattern. On both sides of the window, the architect created vertical protruding elements in the form of pilasters with geometric ornamentation achieved through varying depths of brick placement. These decorative elements give the façade rhythm and dimensionality.
The brickwork technique demonstrates craftsmanship and attention to detail. The variability in brick laying creates an interplay of light and shadow on the façade, especially noticeable with side lighting. This approach is characteristic of historical buildings from the late 19th to early 20th century, where brick architecture was often used to create expressive façades for public and industrial buildings.
Similar decorative brickwork techniques can be adapted for a modern private home. Protruding elements, ornamental inserts, and playing with the depth of masonry allow for creating a unique façade even when using a single material. The contrast between the brick wall and window frames of a different color is also a classic technique that remains relevant in contemporary design.
