Classic Dutch Façade: Brick Mansion with Tower Element and Mansard Roof

#3529. Classic Dutch Façade: Brick Mansion with Tower Element and Mansard Roof

The photograph showcases an expressive example of Dutch architectural style embodied in a brick mansion. The façade of the building demonstrates characteristic features of Northern European architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century with neo-Renaissance elements.

The main volume of the façade is constructed from red brick with meticulously crafted masonry. Special attention is drawn to the left part of the building with its vertically elongated tower composition, topped with a projecting cornice. Tall window openings with contrasting red-brown framing emphasize the verticality of the composition.

Above the entrance is an arched structure with a decorative stone element, presumably containing the name of the house or the year of construction. The entrance portal is formed by a semicircular arch and glass doors with decorative glazing patterns.

The right part of the building represents a more traditional residential section with a mansard roof covered with reddish ceramic tiles. The roofing solution with characteristic dormer windows and protruding cornices gives the building an authentic historical appearance.

The ground floor of the right section is complemented by a glazed veranda with decorative red and white railing elements, creating a visual connection with the color scheme of the window frames. The landscaping in front of the house is laconic and includes a small tree and gravel filling, highlighting the architectural image of the building.
