Before us stands an elegant narrow urban house with a two-story facade executed in a modern interpretation of classical architectural principles. The facade is clad in light-colored brick, creating a clean, minimalist appearance characteristic of contemporary urban architecture.
Compositionally, the facade is divided into distinct horizontal levels, with the lower floor emphasized by black finishes and large glass surfaces. The upper level features a pair of symmetrically placed large windows with black frames, creating a striking contrast against the white brick cladding. A dark slate tile roof completes the composition, giving the house a finished look.
Particularly noteworthy is the thoughtful play of contrasts: light walls against dark window frames, doors, and roof. This technique not only visually structures the facade but also gives it a contemporary character. The entrance is designed with a laconic porch featuring black steps and miniature columns, introducing an element of classical architecture into a modern context.
When designing your own facade, it's worth paying attention to techniques such as contrasting color combinations, symmetrical window placement, use of quality natural materials, and integration of green elements (as seen here with window boxes and street plantings). The yellow chrysanthemums in pots at the entrance add a bright accent, enlivening the strict monochromatic palette of the facade.
