Before me is an expressive example of a modern country house with craftsman style elements and rustic motifs. The main entrance is designed as a projecting portico with a triangular pediment, creating a sense of depth and architectural hierarchy. Particularly noteworthy is the use of natural stone in various shades of beige and gray, laid in an irregular pattern, which gives the facade textural richness and a connection to the natural landscape.
The gabled roof with asphalt shingles in neutral tones harmoniously combines with the stone cladding. The wooden elements in the pediment and arched entrance area add warmth and create an interesting contrast with the stone. The central element of the entrance—a double wooden door with glazing in the upper part—is made of dark wood in a warm tone and framed by an arch, which gives the entrance special expressiveness.
The architectural composition is enriched with thoughtful details: neat stone columns on both sides of the entrance, a stylish pendant light in the arched space, and a smooth transition from stone masonry to plastered surfaces of the side sections of the facade. The landscaping with evergreen thujas and seasonal flowers in containers complements the architectural appearance, visually softening the hardness of the stone elements.
When designing your own facade, it's worth noting several techniques used here: combining different textures and materials (stone, wood, plaster), creating an accent entrance group using a projecting portico, applying arched elements to add softness to the strict geometry of the facade, as well as thoughtful landscaping of the elevated entrance area, which emphasizes the architectural lines.
