Before us stands the historic building of "The Anchor" pub, built in 1815, as indicated on the plaque above the red bay windows. The facade represents a classic example of early 19th century English brick architecture with characteristic elements that give it a unique atmosphere and charm.
The main architectural accent of the facade is the contrasting combination of dark brickwork and bright red window frames. The bay windows on the second floor with small-paned glazing create an expressive volumetric element projecting from the wall plane. This detail is not only decorative but also functional, providing additional space and lighting inside.
The facade is enriched with details: a wrought iron lantern on the wall, a characteristic pub sign depicting an anchor, abundant floral arrangements in hanging planters that soften the strictness of the brick surface. Neat information plaques and menus do not disrupt the overall composition and harmoniously fit into the historical context.
When designing your own home facade, several techniques can be adopted: contrasting color solutions for window frames relative to the main facade material; the use of bay windows to create an architectural accent; greening the facade with hanging planters; application of wrought iron lighting elements and signs to add individuality.
