#15993. Mediterranean Facade: White House with Blue Accents and Stone Masonry

Here we see an interesting example of a residential house with distinctive Mediterranean features, executed in a white and blue color scheme. The architecture of the building is characterized by an asymmetrical composition and expressive facade plasticity. The main volume of the house is painted white with small blue accents – window shutters and garage doors.

The facade demonstrates several interesting architectural techniques. Particularly noteworthy is the stone masonry in the lower part of the house, creating a textured foundation and emphasizing the textural contrast with the smooth plastered walls. An elegant decorative element above the second-floor window with a characteristic figured shape adds individuality to the building.

The entrance group with red steps and a stone parapet is interestingly designed. A small garden in front of the house and climbing plants soften the strict geometry of the facade. The original shape of the garage block roof with a slight curve adds dynamics to the overall composition.

For inspiration when designing your own facade, you might consider the following techniques: contrasting combination of textures (smooth plaster and rough stone), use of expressive color accents (blue doors and shutters), addition of decorative elements (stucco, window framing), and integration of plants into the architecture to soften the overall appearance of the building.
