#16823. Terracotta facade with contrasting window recesses: a modern interpretation of brick architecture

This modern multi-story residential complex represents an expressive example of architecture where the brick facade becomes the main artistic element. The terracotta brick cladding creates a warm, earthy tone that contrasts effectively with the clear blue sky. The distinctive feature of the facade design is the non-standard arrangement of window openings of different sizes and shapes, which breaks up the monotony of the brick surface.

The architectural solution includes deep window recesses with concrete frames that create an interesting play of light and shadow on the facade throughout the day. Notable is the perforated metal section at the top of the building, which adds lightness to the massive structure and serves as both a decorative and functional element, possibly concealing technical rooms or creating a partially enclosed terrace.

In modern private construction, similar techniques can be adapted on a smaller scale: using brickwork with expressive texture, creating contrasting window frames, playing with the depth of facade elements. Even small perforated metal elements can become an accent detail that gives individuality to a standard facade of a private house.
