Review :
1
This house is a vivid example of modern interpretation of European historical styles, primarily Tudor or Norman half-timbering. The complex, picturesque composition is achieved through the active use of characteristic elements: contrasting colors of half-timbering, high pinnacles, complex multi-pitched roofing and a combination of different materials.
2
The building looks solid thanks to the stone plinth and brickwork of the first floor, while the upper levels with white plastered partitions and dark half-timbered beams seem lighter and more decorative. Great attention to detail has been paid: rusticated corners, window frames, decorative elements in tongs.

The first floor shows a skillful combination of light-colored brick and solid white elements (rusts on the corners, complex framing of a tall window). This gives a grounded and stately feel. The dark frames of the windows contrast with the surroundings, adding to the graphic character.
4
A classic technique where dark wooden (or imitation wood) beams create a characteristic pattern against the light background of the second floor walls and gables. This is not only a decorative element, but also the main marker of style, giving the house recognizability and historical flair.
