Eclectic Façade of a Modern House with Geometric Accent

#8195. Eclectic Façade of a Modern House with Geometric Accent

The image showcases a modern two-story residential house with an eclectic façade that combines various architectural elements and materials. The façade features a warm color palette—predominantly in sandy terracotta tones with contrasting dark gray elements. Particularly noticeable is the right side of the façade with a geometric ornament in the form of a stylized dark blue pattern.

Compositionally, the façade is asymmetrical: the left part is finished with stone masonry, creating a textural contrast with the smooth plastered surfaces. The architectural solution includes protruding elements that create an interplay of light and shadow. The second floor is adorned with a balcony featuring geometric metal railings. The entrance area is decorated with ornamental gates made of wrought iron, adding elegance to the overall appearance.

Window openings vary in shape and size, breaking the monotony of the façade. The ground floor has large windows with grilles, while the second floor features more traditional window units with wooden frames. The house perimeter is complemented by a low fence that harmonizes with the overall style of the building.

In designing your own façade, you could apply similar techniques: playing with contrasting materials (stone, plaster), using asymmetrical composition to create a dynamic appearance, adding geometric ornaments as accent elements, and combining different textures to create visual interest. It's important to maintain color harmony and not overload the façade with excessive details.
