This architectural structure represents a classic two-story mansion in American Art Deco style with elements of early 20th century Craftsman aesthetic. The facade is finished with gray stucco, giving it an elegant yet restrained appearance. Particularly notable is the characteristic hipped roof with wide eaves, covered with light-colored tiles that create a striking contrast with the main gray tone of the building.
The front of the facade is adorned with a majestic portico featuring arched openings and substantial columns supporting a covered veranda. This solution not only adds monumentality to the building but also creates a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces. Symmetrically arranged windows with geometric decorative elements emphasize the classical proportionality of the facade, while their white framing effectively contrasts with the gray surface of the walls.
An important detail of the composition is the central brick chimney, which visually balances the horizontal lines of the roof. The landscape design with neatly trimmed shrubs and a young tree in the foreground harmoniously complements the architectural appearance of the building.
When designing your own home facade, you might consider several techniques used in this project: contrasting combination of materials and colors (light roof and dark walls), creating transitional zones between the house and the plot (portico, veranda), using symmetry to add solidity, and thoughtful combination of functional elements (chimney) with decorative details.
