Review :
1
This house combines classic and wood stucco. It can be a good style reference when you want to do Victorian-style latticework.
2
The cornice and brackets are muted relative to the rest of the decor, probably to camouflage the attic floor as much as possible.
3
The color of the bricks is one of the most prosaic - "brick," but the walls have a fresh pink hue, thanks to light embossing and a very muted color of the decors, as well as the gray roof. The color of the grouting mortar echoes the color of the stucco.
4
Such narrow windows are rare nowadays, they require a special form of transoms with a vertical cleavage. The color of the frames and doors is interesting - a deep green-blue. According to one of the surveys, this is "the favorite color of mankind" - Marrs Green.
5
The window radii are different on the first and second floor.
6
On the enclosing narrow terrace, they abandoned the fence, but made a semblance of a fence below, in the bars covering the basement. This method allowed us to make the lower floor visually a little higher than it actually is.
