#8601. Contemporary Brick Facade with Dynamic Pitched Roof

This contemporary residential building demonstrates an interesting approach to interpreting traditional architecture. The facade is predominantly composed of red brick, which lends warmth and solidity to the structure while referencing classic brick buildings. Particularly noteworthy is the asymmetrical steep pitched roof with terracotta tiles, which dominates the composition and creates a dynamic silhouette.

The facade is skillfully divided into several volumes of different heights, breaking up the building's mass. The central element is distinguished by a large panoramic window spanning the entire height of the second floor and a balcony with minimalist glass railing. Wooden framing elements around this central projection add warmth and contrast to the brickwork.

The window openings are executed in a contemporary style — with dark frames that effectively contrast with the brick masonry. Dormer windows are integrated into the roof plane, providing natural lighting to the upper level. The architect has cleverly used a contrast of materials: brick, wood, glass, and metal downpipe elements create an interesting textural composition.

The landscaping of the adjacent territory with low decorative fencing and carefully selected plants organically complements the architectural image. This project demonstrates how traditional materials can be used in a contemporary interpretation, creating an expressive but not pretentious residential facade.

When designing your own facade, you might adopt techniques such as: playing with volumes and heights; contrasting traditional and modern materials; highlighting a central facade element; using vertical accents to visually increase building height; and skillfully combining large glass surfaces with traditional wall materials.
