How about Chinese-style houses?

1. The distribution of groups is clear and rhythmic.

A horizontal composition is adopted on the central axis, and important buildings are arranged on the central axis, while secondary buildings are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis.

The structure uses "room" as a unit to form a single building, and then uses the single building to form a courtyard, and then uses the courtyard as a unit to form various forms of groups.

2. Pay attention to color matching.

Chinese architecture has strong regional characteristics, but no matter where it is, it pays great attention to the matching of colors. For example, the white walls and black tiles of Jiangnan Water Town (Forum News) are integrated with the beautiful natural environment of mountains and rivers.

The buildings in the north are mostly colorful and have strong contrast, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing with red walls and yellow tiles, red courtyard walls, glittering golden roofs, and the blue sky as the background. The strong contrast leaves a deep impression on people.

impression.

3. Decoration is diverse: The windows of Chinese-style buildings are the focus of decoration.

The shapes of windows include square, round, elliptical, flower-shaped, fan-shaped, polygonal, etc. The patterns and types of windows are too numerous to count.

For example, in Xidi Village, Yixian County, Anhui Province, which is known as the "Museum of Ancient Folk Residences", there are colorful leaky windows or flower windows carved from blue-gray stone, which decorate a mobile building with simplicity and elegance.

4. Buildings have obvious grade regulations: they can generally be distinguished by the roof style and eaves of the building.

Veranda-style architecture: the highest level, used only in important royal buildings, palaces or halls.

It has four slopes, one main ridge and four oblique ridges.

The roof is slightly curved, with corners and eaves tilted upward.

Xieshan-style building: It adopts a combination of four-sided slope and two-sided slope, that is, the upper part of the roof on the east and west sides turns into a vertical triangle, and the lower part remains a slope.

Pointed building: a circular or polygonal plane with a tapered roof.

Commonly seen on the tops of altars, pavilions, pavilions and towers.

Hanging gable-style building: the roof has double slopes, with both sides extending beyond the gable.

There is one main ridge and four vertical ridges.

Hard-gable building: The lowest specification, with gables on both sides flush with or slightly higher than the roof.

The roof ridge is the same as the hanging mountain style.
