The facade is strictly symmetrical with respect to the central axis passing through the dormer on the roof. This is a key principle of classical architecture, giving the building a sense of order, stability and solemnity.2
The house is completely clad in classic red brick, which creates a sense of reliability, durability and references traditional Georgian style architecture.3
The white classical details - pilasters between the second floor windows, wide entablature under the cornice, window framing - contrast vividly with the red brick, emphasizing the structure of the facade and giving it a smart look.4
Three identical semi-circular brick arches frame the first floor windows and door. This is a strong rhythmic element that adds monumentality to the façade and references Roman architecture.5
Tall windows with fine classical glazing (divided into small squares) and white frames are an important part of the style. The arched window above the door (lunette) follows the shape of the first floor windows.6
Dark shutters frame all of the main windows, creating additional contrast and rhythm on the façade. They can be either functional or decorative.7
The dark hip roof with expressive eaves and a central hearing window (dormer) completes the composition of the building, giving it a classic silhouette.Facade #14673 from Archi.Capital base.
