Review :
This house is especially relevant today, because it blends classic and modern. And the classic comes from the Tudor style, not from Italian architecture. Many people aren't ready to build a house with a flat roof. Here the form is classic, just simplified, with very restrained finishes. This house shows you don't have to imitate the medieval style, the stones, the decor. It feels comfortable inside if you love the classics, yet it's a thoroughly modern house.

The proportions are slender. The gables catch the eye, breaking up the roofline with no tiresome symmetry. Beautiful!3
Accents matter. Here it's the shiny copper gutters against a black background.4
These are probably fiber-cement or HPL panels.5
Even cheap siding wasn't ruled out on the side facade, sensible cost-cutting.6
The dark gray inserts tie in nicely with the steep roof. The facade is graphic in both shape and contrast.7
The key detail is the curved scrolls on the gable. This house has it all: contrast, accents, nuance.More examples of houses like this in the post "More Gothic."
Facade #10619 from Archi.Capital base.
