Beautiful yellow and brown brick houses: project examples
The yellow and brown colors of bricks gained great popularity, comparable only to the popularity of red, from which at one time almost all brick houses were built. Brown and yellow bricks are quite practical and neat. In addition, these building materials are environmentally friendly.
However, it is not enough just to choose the material - you need to decide on the design of the house. The most popular were houses with original structural elements, for example, with an attic or a bay window.
Advantages of yellow and brown bricks
- environmental friendliness;
- high strength;
- frost resistance;
- moisture resistance;
- durability;
- no special care is required;
- large selection of textures and shades.
Due to the high density of the material, it can be easily processed with all kinds of cutting tools, which allows you to get any geometric shape.
Characteristics of yellow and brown brick houses with an attic
Attic houses are an economical and beautiful alternative to building two-story housing. Unlike two-story, where the height of the ceilings of both floors is two and a half - three meters, houses with an attic have an additional floor no more than one and a half meters high, which is formed between the roof slopes and the ceiling of the first floor. That is, in fact, this is an attic suitable for living, as seen in the photo.
Much less resources are spent on the construction of the attic compared to a full-fledged second floor. The difference from the usual attic is the fact that the attic is not suitable for habitation. Also, the attic can occupy only part of the attic.
Advantages of the attic floor:
- increase in usable area of the house;
- beautiful view;
- reduction of heat losses in the cold season;
- the possibility of creating on the basis of finished housing;
- compared to a two-story house - lower construction cost.
A number of disadvantages of the attic:
- low sloping ceilings;
- complication of protection against moisture and thermal insulation;
- special design of windows;
- rafters deteriorate faster due to insufficient ventilation.
houses with bay windows
The yellow and brown brick houses in the photo show another design transformation option. Shown here are houses with bay windows. They represent a small glazed area protruding from the side surface of the house.
Bay windows are usually created in large rooms where there is a lack of lighting, but at the request of the owners they can also be installed in small rooms, for example, to equip a "green corner".
Bay windows in cross section are made in the form of a triangle, square, trapezoid, polyhedron, or even can be rounded. The same applies to the roof over the bay window. It can be single, double or domed.
The bay window can be either fully glazed or partially. Due to such a variety of forms, houses acquire originality and attractiveness.
Bay window disadvantages:
- complexity of installation;
- individual production;
- an increase in the price of the whole house.
Houses with attic and bay window
To improve the architecture of a house made of yellow and brown bricks, some house projects include not only an attic, but also the removal of the lower floor in a cantilever manner or the use of columns, pillars, pylons, pendants and other things.
In this situation, it would be best to use bay windows that visually and structurally expand the interior space of the attic, and also positively affect illumination and all-round visibility.
The advantage of houses with an attic and a bay window:
- high aesthetics;
- increase in attic living area;
- good view from windows.
Decorative finishing of facades
In addition to the attic and bay windows, you can make the house more beautiful by experimenting with the facade. To do this, the facade of a brown and yellow brick house can be made by combining different materials and coatings, as shown in the photo.
Examples of a combination of facade materials in yellow and brown brick houses:
- wood with textured brick;
- chopped or rounded logs with bricks;
- foam blocks and bricks;
- aerated concrete and wood;
- ceramic blocks and wood;
- natural stone and wood.
In fact, there are countless combinations of materials to create an original home.
When creating beautiful houses from brown and yellow bricks, you can get very original architectural structures. An important nuance in the creation of such house projects is only the economic component, because any structural elements require the use of building materials for their construction. The more complex the design, the more materials are used, but at the same time, a more attractive design can be obtained.
