Brutalist residential building with white facade, grid of 35 dark window frames, golden ochre base, and timber cladding tower, street-level view.
Description

Stark architectural study of a modernist residential block: crisp white render meets warm ochre plaster at street level, punctuated by a rigorous grid of 35 deep-set windows with dark frames creating shadow-play across the façade. A warm timber-clad tower rises vertically on the right, grounding the composition in natural materials. Daylight casts soft shadows, rendering the scene in muted tones — cream, gold, warm brown — with a parked white car and solitary figure at street level for scale. Clean lines, geometric precision, and material contrast evoke European mid-century modernism.
