The sloping brick face masonry is of course the most striking detail. That's the name of the house:45° Brick House, located in Gujarat. The bricks are stacked without a dressing, which makes their appearance even more unusual. The color is red Indian soil.2
Wide, white lines of brick linings form the individual panels.3
Half of the house is thoughtfully covered with stucco, to highlight the masonry as a design element.4
The door, as a visual element, has been completely dispensed with. Here it merges with the wall. The gold color, like the Indian jewelry.5
Also used in relief masonry in the fence and parts of the house (see photo below)6
Laser-cut sheet metal fences. Each section is individual.7
Corner frameless glazing dissolves this part of the façade into its surroundings, further highlighting the active form of the brick wall.8
Exterior wooden shutters form a decorative staircase.
