#3730. Green Craftsman Façade: Harmony of Stone and Shingles with Expressive Gables

Before us stands an exquisite example of a modern interpretation of the traditional American Craftsman style with Shingle style elements. This two-story house features harmonious asymmetry and meticulous attention to detail. The façade skillfully combines several types of finishes: the lower level is clad in natural irregular stonework, creating a solid visual foundation, while the upper floor is covered with distinctive green shingles characteristic of the Shingle style, giving the building textural depth.

A defining feature of the façade is the expressive gables with decorative elements in the form of vertical battens that emphasize the triangular shape. The first-floor windows are arched, wide, with decorative casings that contrast with the main color of the façade. The upper-level windows are presented as symmetrical dormer windows with gabled roofs, which enhances the vertical rhythm of the composition.

An important element is the spacious porch with white columns and railings, crowned by its own roof that smoothly transitions into the main roof of the house. The porch with its wide staircase serves not only as a functional entrance but also creates a welcoming transition zone between the garden and the house. The landscape design of the plot with neatly trimmed shrubs, stone elements, and wavy flowerbeds harmoniously frames the architectural composition, emphasizing its connection with the surrounding environment.
