The image showcases a classic American home blending Cape Cod and Craftsman styles. The facade presents a harmonious combination of various materials: the lower portion features red-brown brick that also forms the porch support columns, while the central part of the facade is clad in light-colored stone. The upper level and gable are finished with white horizontal siding.
The roof has a typical Cape Cod steep gabled form with a characteristic dormer window in the center, designed as a mansard projection with two windows adorned with decorative blue shutters. The roofing is made of gray-blue shingles, giving the building an elegant, subdued appearance. The brick chimney integrates organically into the overall composition.
The first floor facade is symmetrical, with a central entrance door and two windows on either side, also decorated with blue shutters, creating a cohesive color scheme. A small open porch with white railings and brick supports complements the cozy appearance of the house. Steps lead to the front door, which is sheltered by a small overhang.
When designing your own facade, several techniques from this house are worth noting: the contrasting combination of materials (brick, stone, siding), the use of color accents through decorative shutters, the symmetrical composition, and the balanced integration of functional and decorative elements. It's also worth paying attention to the proportionality of all facade elements, which makes the house visually appealing despite its relatively modest size.
