Tudor Facade: Harmony of Half-Timbering and Brickwork

#6707. Tudor Facade: Harmony of Half-Timbering and Brickwork

The photograph showcases an exquisite example of Tudor architecture – a two-story suburban house with a characteristic half-timbered façade. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, providing a solid foundation for the structure, while the second floor exhibits classic half-timbering with a striking contrast between white stucco and dark brown wooden beams.

The façade is asymmetrical and features a complex multi-gabled roof with several pediments of varying shapes and sizes. The central gable is adorned with an elegant Gothic decorative element in the form of a quatrefoil, emphasizing the historical stylization. On the right side of the façade, a distinctive decorative element of three crosses (XXX) adds individuality to the building.

The window openings vary in size and configuration but predominantly consist of classic rectangular windows with small panes, framed by dark brown casings. The brick chimneys, one of which stands particularly tall, serve not only as functional elements but also as significant architectural details that complement the vertical rhythm of the composition.

The entrance area includes a wooden door with a small canopy and steps, while a second entrance with an arched opening is located on the right side of the house. The building is surrounded by a well-maintained landscape with trimmed shrubs and grass, harmoniously complementing the architectural image and emphasizing its connection to the English countryside tradition.
