Elegant Neo-Colonial Facade: Contrast of Dark Shingles and White Trim

#6388. Elegant Neo-Colonial Facade: Contrast of Dark Shingles and White Trim

The house presented showcases an elegant example of traditional American neo-colonial architecture with modern details. The facade is clad in dark shingles of a deep blue-gray shade, creating an expressive contrast with the white trim elements.

The frontal composition is symmetrical and harmonious: two wings are topped with triangular gables featuring round oculus windows. The central part of the facade is emphasized by a graceful portico with columns supporting a white second-floor balcony with classic balusters. This architectural detail adds grandeur to the house and serves as a focal point.

The window openings are framed with white casings and divided into squares by white muntins, giving the facade rhythm and classical character. The two-section garage is organically integrated into the overall composition of the building, maintaining its stylistic integrity.

The landscape design complements the architectural solution: a red-leaf Japanese maple and flowering lilac soften the strictness of forms and add coloristic diversity. The white picket fence in front of the house emphasizes the American character of the development and echoes the white architectural details of the facade.
