#16778. Modern House with Perforated Brick Facade: Traditional Material in Innovative Execution

This residential house showcases an elegant application of perforated brickwork — an architectural technique that simultaneously addresses both functional and aesthetic challenges. The terracotta brick facade with its geometrically precise pattern of openings creates the effect of a semi-transparent shell, providing natural ventilation and filtering bright sunlight.

The gabled roof with clean lines gives the building the recognizable silhouette of a traditional house, yet the modern interpretation of materials and techniques makes it relevant for our time. Particularly noteworthy are the central entrance with its wooden door and the compact second-floor balcony, which create a vertical axis for the composition and visually divide the facade into symmetrical parts.

The perforated masonry, also known as "brick lattice," achieves a balance between privacy and openness, creating a play of light and shadow in the interior. This facade design demonstrates how a traditional material can be used in an innovative way to create a microclimate inside the building without excessive reliance on mechanical cooling systems.

The surrounding vegetation harmoniously complements the architectural solution, softening the geometry of the building and creating a natural transition to the landscape. The paving in front of the entrance is executed in neutral tones, allowing the brick facade to become the main accent of the composition.
