Description

Introduction.

Characteristic of this is the use of materials (unfinished varnished wood, roof tiles, leaded glass, restrained use of natural stone) and the application of timber-framing.

The plinth is executed in red brick, the remaining parts of the facades are yellow. The right corner of the front of the house is provided with a round, tower-shaped projection under a pointed roof. The centre of the front facade is crowned by a gable with saddle roof. On the ground floor of the tower is located the entrance. This entrance consists of a wooden door in worked natural stone framing with Tudor arch. On the closing stone a relief with representation of a pineapple is applied.
