Traditional Norman Half-Timbered Facade with Characteristic Wooden Elements and Tiled Roof

#3876. Traditional Norman Half-Timbered Facade with Characteristic Wooden Elements and Tiled Roof

This magnificent example of traditional Norman architecture represents a half-timbered house with facade design characteristic of the region. The building showcases the classic "colombage" structure — a wooden frame filled with light-colored material, creating a visually appealing contrast between dark wooden beams and light intervals.

The facade features an asymmetrical composition with expressive vertical and diagonal frame elements. Particular attention is drawn to the natural tile roof with several pointed turrets and decorative elements on the ridges — a typical element of Norman style. The multi-pitched roof with steep slopes gives the building special expressiveness and romantic appearance.

The windows are framed with wooden casings and arranged in a characteristic rhythm that emphasizes the structural nature of the half-timbering. The facade is adorned with abundant floral decor — bright flower compositions in hanging planters add charm and vitality to the building, softening the strictness of the geometric lines of the wooden frame.

The first floor is partially elevated above ground level, which is typical for such historical buildings. A small terrace with decorative elements adds depth to the facade. The entire structure is surrounded by a neat brick fence with wrought iron elements, which harmoniously complements the architectural ensemble.
