A two-story rustic-style house with traditional and handcrafted influences, featuring a predominant use of wood in its structure and finishes. The facade is clad in wooden panels, and the house includes wooden railings, stairs, and pergolas, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere reminiscent of cabins or countryside homes. On the right side, there is a brick or stone chimney, enhancing the home's traditional and welcoming feel.
The house has a spacious upper terrace with a wooden pergola, providing partial shade and an inviting outdoor relaxation area. The entrance features elevated wooden stairs leading to the front door, flanked by wooden railings that maintain design consistency. The windows have dark frames, possibly painted wood or metal, contrasting with the rest of the exterior.
The roof has a slight slope, likely to facilitate rainwater drainage, a common characteristic in rustic home designs. Surrounding the house is a small front garden enclosed by wooden fences, reinforcing the countryside aesthetic. In the foreground, construction materials and a temporary fence indicate ongoing renovations or improvements.
This house embodies a traditional rustic architectural style, with a strong handcrafted appeal. The combination of wood, brick chimney, and artisanal details suggests a design inspired by mountain cabins or rural homes, though it is located in a suburban or urban setting. Its layout emphasizes outdoor living spaces, making it an ideal home for nature lovers or those seeking a cozy retreat with handcrafted charm
