#2678. Classic North German half-timbered façade with contrasting red and white pattern

Before us stands an expressive example of half-timbered architecture, characteristic of northern Germany. This three-story building with a pronounced triangular gable demonstrates the mastery of traditional construction, where the wooden frame (painted red) forms not only the structural basis but also the decorative pattern of the façade.

The façade presents a composition of brick masonry and wooden beams creating a complex geometric ornament. Particularly notable are the white patterns between the beams, creating contrast with the red finish of the frame. The upper triangular part of the gable is adorned with an intricate pattern of linear elements, while the middle section of the façade displays more rounded, almost anthropomorphic forms.

The windows are framed in white, and the ground floor features a characteristic arched door in dark green. This same green color is repeated in the central doors on the upper floors and in the framing of some windows, creating a cohesive color composition. The side window of the first floor is designed as a bay window with its own framing, which adds additional volume and plasticity to the façade.

Of particular interest is the harmonious combination of red brickwork at the lower level with the half-timbered construction of the upper floors. Such a solution is not only aesthetically pleasing but also reflects the evolution of building technologies and local traditions, where stronger material was used for the foundation and lighter material for the upper structures.
