This magnificent country house is an excellent example of a modern interpretation of classic American Shingle style architecture. The façade demonstrates a harmonious combination of traditional and contemporary elements, creating an expressive and cozy appearance.
The façade features a complex composition of volumes with characteristic gabled roofs of varying heights and expressive pediments. The gray fiber-cement shingle cladding contrasts with white decorative elements, creating a classic yet fresh combination. Particular attention is drawn to the multi-level architecture with an elegant columned porch, a small second-floor balcony, and protruding bay windows that enrich the façade design and add dynamic visual interest.
Window openings of various sizes and shapes with traditional divisions into small sections are characteristic of the neoclassical style and contribute to creating an expressive rhythm on the façade. The base of the house is faced with natural stone, which not only gives solidity to the entire structure but also creates a natural transition to the landscape.
Among the techniques that can be used in your own project are contrasting combinations of finishing materials, playing with different levels and volumes, and adding architectural elements such as porches and bay windows to create interesting façade geometry. It's also worth paying attention to color schemes - in this case, the restrained color palette allows the architectural details to speak for themselves.
