#17271. Modern facade with contrasting combination of brick and white frame

The presented image showcases an excellent example of modern architecture where traditional brick elements harmoniously blend with innovative structures. Particularly notable is the facade design with its bold structural solution — a white frame with a curved roof line creates a dynamic contrast with the warm brickwork.

The building's facade presents an interesting combination of open and enclosed spaces. Large glass sliding doors provide an unobstructed connection between interior and exterior spaces, blurring the boundaries between the house and garden. The brick masonry of the house foundation and boundary elements creates a sense of reliability and connection to tradition, while the white structural elements of the frame and canopy add lightness and modernity.

The curved canopy is not only a functional element protecting from sun and precipitation but also a striking architectural accent that gives the building a recognizable silhouette. The brick chimney visible in the background serves as a vertical dominant, balancing the predominantly horizontal composition of the house.

When designing your own facade, it's worth paying attention to such contrasting combinations of materials — brick and modern structures, the use of large glazed surfaces to create light-filled spaces, as well as the integration of functional elements (like the canopy) into the overall aesthetic concept of the building.
