#17462. Modern two-story house with contrasting white plaster and brick façade

The presented residence exemplifies contemporary architecture with a masterful combination of contrasting materials and geometric forms. The façade demonstrates a clean, laconic composition dominated by straight lines and cubic volumes. The main volume is executed in white, creating a sense of lightness and visually expanding the space, while terracotta brick accents add warmth and textural diversity.

Particularly noteworthy is the expressive upper part of the structure with a large pergola canopy, creating a semi-shaded space on the second level. The metal lattice elements of the pergola echo the geometric pattern of the railings and gates, establishing a unified visual system. The façade is skillfully structured with horizontal lines of balconies and vertical glazing elements, giving the building rhythm and expressiveness.

When designing the façade of a private house, several techniques can be borrowed from this project: contrasting combination of materials (white plaster and brickwork), the use of lighting to accentuate architectural elements (as can be seen at the entrance area), and the application of decorative metal grilles with geometric patterns for gates and fences. This approach allows for creating a modern, stylish appearance without overloading it with excessive decorative elements.
