Modern Craftsman-Style Facade: Terracotta Siding and Classical Proportions

#7938. Modern Craftsman-Style Facade: Terracotta Siding and Classical Proportions

The photograph shows a beautiful three-story house in the modern American Craftsman style. The main facade is finished in a rich terracotta-red color with vertical siding. The upper part of the gable also features vertical siding, creating visual unity throughout the structure.

The facade exhibits a well-thought-out architectural composition. It includes a wide covered porch with massive support columns partially clad in stone at the lower sections. The triangular gable on the second floor with a triple window creates classical symmetry and adds architectural character to the house. Of particular interest are the numerous windows with the characteristic Craftsman-style muntins in the upper portions.

The color scheme of the facade harmonizes well with the surrounding landscape—light brown elements of the porch and window trim create a balanced contrast with the main red color. The thoughtful landscape design with multi-level flower beds, stone edging, and diverse plantings complements the architectural composition, creating a complete image of a well-appointed living space.

The detached garage on the right side of the property maintains the same stylistic approach and color palette, ensuring ensemble unity of all structures on the lot. Overall, the building represents an excellent example of a contemporary interpretation of the traditional American Craftsman style, with its attention to detail, natural materials, and organic integration with the landscape.
