#9896. Neo-traditional blue façade with Craftsman style elements

The image showcases a modern two-story residential house that combines elements of neo-traditional architecture and Craftsman style. The façade is clad in horizontal siding in a pleasant blue-turquoise shade, giving the building a fresh yet classic appearance.

The front of the house features a spacious covered porch with white wooden railings and substantial columns characteristic of the Craftsman style. The porch rests on a brick foundation with steps that harmoniously echo the pathway leading to the house. The entrance zone is accentuated by a small gabled canopy supported by wooden triangular brackets—a typical element of Craftsman style.

Particular attention is drawn to the thoughtful composition of window openings: tall triple windows in the central part of the façade are balanced by paired windows on the right wing of the house. White window frames and casings create an expressive contrast with the main color of the façade. The dark brown wooden front door with upper glazing and flanking wall sconces gives the entrance group completeness and warmth.

The garage with wooden doors is also maintained in the overall style of the house and appropriately integrated into the architectural composition. The hipped roof of the main volume of the building combines with small gabled elements above the entrance and side wing, creating a dynamic yet harmonious silhouette.

For homeowners wishing to apply similar techniques in designing their façade, recommendations include: using contrasting color combinations to emphasize architectural details; applying natural materials or their quality imitations; creating an expressive entrance portal with well-thought-out proportions; coordinating the style of all façade elements (windows, doors, cladding, decorative details) to achieve a cohesive image.
