#9807. Compact two-story house with contrasting facade

This two-story residential house represents a compact example of modern architecture with classical elements. The facade is executed in a light palette with contrasting dark accents, creating a clear visual structure. The main volume is clad in white/cream color, while the roof, window frames, and decorative elements are finished in dark brown.

The architectural composition of the facade includes several interesting elements: a gabled roof with pronounced cornices, a round window on the second floor (oculus), a balcony with metal railings, and windows with contrasting shutters. Particularly noteworthy is the horizontal dark band encircling the house and visually separating the first and second floors, which gives the structure visual balance and scale.

The facade demonstrates the principle of contrast not only in color solution but also in the design of window openings—some windows have decorative shutters, while others are framed only by a color contour. This technique can be successfully applied when designing residential houses to create a dynamic yet harmonious exterior appearance. The installed air conditioners are integrated into the overall composition, which is a practical solution for warm climates, judging by the surrounding landscape.

Also noteworthy is the landscaping of the adjacent territory: a neat lawn, decorative gravel filling, and minimalist plantings complement the architectural solution without overloading the visual perception of the house.
