What is a symmetrical facade?

A symmetrical facade refers to the design of the front of a building, where one side is a mirror image of the other. This means that if you split the facade down the middle, both sides will be identical. For example, if a building has a central entrance door flanked by two sets of windows on each side, the left side will be the exact copy of the right side. Symmetrical facades are often associated with classical architecture and can be found in grand homes, government buildings, and other places where symmetry and balance are important design elements.
