This project represents an impressive example of architectural contrast between tradition and modernity. The upper part of the building features a classic triangular facade with rich brown brickwork that preserves the historical authenticity of the original A-frame construction. This triangular volume is beautifully integrated with a new addition executed in a minimalist style with white walls and panoramic glazing, creating a dialogue between historical and contemporary facade design aesthetics.
Particularly noteworthy is the window treatment: in the historical part, we see classic rectangular windows harmoniously embedded in the brickwork, while the modern extension is almost entirely glazed, visually blurring the boundary between interior space and garden. The contrasting juxtaposition of materials—textured brickwork against smooth contemporary surfaces—creates a visually rich yet balanced composition.
For those looking to adapt similar approaches in their own homes, this project demonstrates several valuable techniques: contrasting material combinations can emphasize both the historical value of an existing structure and the contemporary character of an addition; panoramic glazing serves as an effective way to visually expand space; and the white color of the modern section becomes a neutral background that highlights the rich texture of the historical brickwork.
