Symmetrical white facade with arched ground-floor windows and
A symmetrical two-story facade featuring crisp white stucco, dark steel-framed arched windows, and a generous overhanging roof by Architecturefirm, serving as a precedent for refined modern-traditional residential design.
- What we like about this project
- The exaggerated flat roof overhang with exposed rafters creates a distinct shadow line and shelters the upper clerestory-like proportions.

- Geometry
- Strictly symmetrical two-story volume featuring five arched openings at the ground level and five rectangular punched windows above, topped by an exaggerated overhanging flat roof with exposed rafter tails.
- Facade system
- Smooth white stucco finish with inset black steel-framed windows and glazed openings.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry or wood frame with stucco finish and a framed roof overhang.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential or boutique scale, grounded by a wide lawn and prominent entry porch on the right.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight producing gentle ambient illumination with minimal shadows.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and composed under a quiet, foggy sky.
- Environmental context
- Suburban setting with a manicured front lawn and mature deciduous trees flanking the property.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents a monumental yet restrained presence toward the front lawn, balancing heavy white massing with transparent vertical openings.
- Composition rhythm
- Five-bay rhythm repeated across both levels, transitioning from grand arches below to precise rectangular frames above.
