Gothic Revival: Residences

A 19th-century detached house. Asymmetrical massing, the main facade has a pointed gable, next to it are a bay window and a tower. The roof is steep and covered with colorful slate, and the chimney is tall and ornate. The porch has slender columns and wooden arches. The courtyard has large trees and a gravel driveway.
Avoid: making the plan a symmetrical box, flattening the roof, removing the tower and bay window, making the facade materials and colors too uniform.

一棟十九世紀的獨棟住宅。不對稱的量體組合,主立面有一座尖山牆,旁邊是凸窗與一座塔樓,屋頂陡峭鋪彩色石板,煙囪高而有雕飾。門廊是細柱與木拱。庭院有大樹與碎石車道。避免:把平面做成對稱的方盒、屋頂改成平緩、拿掉塔樓與凸窗、讓立面的材料與顏色過於單一。
