Here we see an excellent example of a modern house executed in the style of an English cottage. The facade presents a harmonious combination of traditional materials: cream-colored stucco and red brick, which is used for the foundation and the massive chimney. This contrasting combination of materials gives the building visual stability and emphasizes its architectural character.
The steep-pitched roof is covered with ceramic tiles in pleasant terracotta shades, which is a classic solution for this style. Two symmetrically placed dormer windows are organically integrated into the overall composition and provide natural lighting for the upper floor.
The entrance area deserves special attention, with a small wooden porch protected by a canopy on wooden posts. This element is not only functional but also creates a welcoming, cozy accent on the facade. The brown wooden window frames effectively contrast with the light walls and add warmth to the facade.
When designing your own facade, you can adopt several techniques: combining different materials to create textural interest, highlighting the foundation with contrasting material, using natural colors and materials, as well as adding small architectural elements, such as an expressive porch, to create a focal point. Additionally, symmetry in the placement of windows and dormer elements gives the house a classical balance and harmony.
