The building displayed in the image is a charming example of Mediterranean architecture with distinct Portuguese or possibly Spanish influences. This three-story mansion is painted in a deep terracotta red color that contrasts excellently with the white window frames and beige decorative elements.
The facade features a symmetrical composition with a central accent of tall arched windows with stained glass and ornamental molding at the top. This central arch is beautifully framed and crowned with a small decorative frieze, which adds an element of classical elegance to the building. The windows on the first and second floors have traditional rectangular shapes with characteristic divided panes, indicating the building's historical origins.
Particularly noteworthy is the interplay of architectural details: the cornices under the roof, decorative elements around the windows, and the stone plinth that gives the building's foundation a sense of solidity. The roof is made of terracotta tiles that organically complement the overall color scheme of the structure.
When designing your own home, several techniques could be borrowed: the contrasting combination of the main facade color with window frames and decorative elements; the use of arched elements as central accents; the application of ornamental molding to enrich the visual image of the building; and a clear distinction between the plinth and the main volume of the building using different materials or colors.
