#16126. Modern Renovation: Traditional Brick Facade with Minimalist Extension

The photograph showcases a modern example of a renovated British terraced house, with a particularly interesting solution for the rear facade. The traditional brick facade of the upper floors with its characteristic dark dormer extension harmoniously combines with the contemporary minimalist design of the ground floor. A notable feature is the large panoramic opening with sliding doors, creating a seamless transition between the interior space and the garden.

The ground floor is finished in light colors with clean geometric lines, contrasting with the traditional brickwork of the main volume of the house. The garden exit is framed by an elegant terrace made of light-colored stone with wide steps creating a gentle transition to the lawn. The terrace space is organized for leisure with a compact dining area.

The facade design employs a contrast technique between the historical part of the building and the modern extension, which is a common solution in renovating historical buildings in Great Britain. This approach allows for preserving the character of the building while simultaneously adapting it to modern requirements of functionality and comfort. When designing your own house, this technique can be used by combining traditional materials (brick, natural stone) with contemporary elements (large glazed surfaces, clean minimalist lines, concealed technical details).
