CLOSER TO NATURE

If you dream of an idyllic house, choose natural material – wood, roofing tile of traditional terracotta colour and stone or brick foundation. Windows should have a shutters which are giving the special charm. Wooden balustrades and visible features of rafter framing are indispensible elements of rustic house. You can also add sophisticated supports of balconies. Remember also about a garage door and an entrance door. The shown house stylization, does not require any adaptations of the house plan.   .

Even a tiny house can have its own architectural features which correspond with tradition. If you like it, choose details from the past centuries: subtle, stucco window frames and rustication marking the corners of your house, windows with muntins and wrought balustrades and smooth foundation. With a little help of those details it is possible to create a house resembling historical style. However, bear in mind that you shouldn’t exaggerate using  too many various  decorations. Avoid colour contrasts because in this style it’s easy to go beyond the boundary of good taste. This house stylization, does not require any adaptations of the plan.
LESS MEANS MORE

In order to get more modern appearance of your house, it’s enough to limit the number of details and choose simplicity. The features which fit the best are: glass or steel balustrades and windows without muntins. You can add simple frames made of plaster or clinker brick around the windows. Clinker can also appear on foundation or on wider areas of the walls. Consequently, the entrance doors and a garage gate should be made of simple segments. Such an exterior design can be easily done without adaptations. You may go further and do some remodelling work through and a completely new project can be obtained.

Dom w rododendronach 2 IS THIS STILL THE SAME HOUSE PLAN?

What has been changed in this house plan? The localisation and size of windows, shape of a gallery and jutty, balcony limited to roofing above the entrance. This style goes back to modernistic, interwar architecture with the windows covering the corners of the building,  porte-fenêtre windows and metal plate on the gallery roof.
