This modern urban house represents an interesting example of architectural contrast and bold façade design. The building combines traditional brickwork with ultra-modern elements of glass and metal. The main part of the façade is made of red brick, which adds warmth and connects it to the surrounding buildings, but the most expressive element is the dynamic black volume that protrudes from the façade.
This black element, clad with metal panels, forms a vertical dominant and contains impressive panoramic glazing. The contrast between traditional brick and modern black frames creates visual tension and emphasizes the architectural character of the building. Particular attention is drawn to the entrance group with tall glass doors in black frames, which looks elegant and contemporary.
At the upper level, there is a terrace with minimalist railings, which adds functionality and visual lightness to the top part of the structure. Narrow windows on the brick portion of the façade with black frames support the overall style and create a rhythmic composition.
When designing your own façade, you can adopt this technique of contrasting traditional and modern materials. Using accent volumes or inserts made of contrasting materials can give even a small house an expressive architectural character. Black window frames against a brick background is another technique that gives the building elegance and a contemporary look.
