Before us stands a striking example of Victorian architecture in the "gingerbread house" style, known as Carpenter Gothic. This charming two-story wooden house features characteristic decorative elements that give it unique charm and individuality. The building's facade showcases magnificent woodwork with exquisite carved details.
Particularly impressive is the roof gable with its intricate fretwork along the edges, creating a lace-like framing effect. The arched window on the second floor with mint-green trim serves as the compositional center of the upper facade. The balcony with white balusters adds elegance and functionality to the structure.
The first floor features green double front doors that harmonize with the main dark green color of the cladding. The porch with its overhang is supported by slender white columns, while an original white balustrade with geometric pattern runs around the veranda's perimeter.
In modern private construction, many techniques borrowed from this architectural gem can be applied: the contrasting combination of a main dark color with white decorative elements, the use of carved details on cornices and gables, stylized balusters and railings, as well as accent color solutions for doors and window frames.
