Modern urban house with combined brick-and-plaster facade and vertical glazed element

#16134. Modern urban house with combined brick-and-plaster facade and vertical glazed element

This modern urban house showcases an interesting combination of materials and architectural elements. The facade features a warm golden-brown brick masonry paired with plastered surfaces. Particularly striking is the vertical element on the left side of the building, containing a glazed shaft likely concealing a staircase, which adds dynamism to the entire composition.

The building has an asymmetrical form with a red tile pitched roof and flat roofing sections. Window openings of various sizes are well-balanced and provide ample natural lighting. Notable are the small balconies on the second floor, which are not only functional but also add additional volume to the facade composition.

In the design, one can notice attention to details: thin white cornices, window frames, and neat transitions between different finishing materials. The front yard is surrounded by a low wooden fence that creates a private space without disrupting the visual connection with the street.

For your own home, you could borrow the technique of combining contrasting materials (brick and plaster), using vertical accent elements to visually elongate the facade, as well as an asymmetrical composition that gives the building an individual character and helps avoid monotony.
