This photograph showcases an excellent example of harmonious combination between traditional architecture and modern minimalist design. The image presents a residential house with a contrasting architectural solution — a historic main building with traditional brickwork and tiled roof that has received a contemporary extension with clean geometric lines.
The facade of the extension is characterized by its laconic elegance. It is rendered in light colors with large-format glazing, creating a sense of openness and connection with the surrounding landscape. Particularly noteworthy is the use of wooden inserts that add warmth and naturalness to the strict geometry of the facade. The flat roof of the extension emphasizes the modern character of the addition, creating a clear contrast with the traditional pitched roof of the main building.
The corner panoramic glazing on the lower floor of the extension visually lightens the structure and creates a floating effect for the upper volume. The designers skillfully combined various materials: glass, wood, and plaster, creating a play of textures that makes the facade dynamic and interesting to perceive even with a minimalist approach.
The project highlights important techniques applicable for modern facade design: contrasting combination of traditional and contemporary architectural elements; use of natural materials to soften modern lines; large-format glazing for integrating the interior with the surrounding landscape; clean geometry and minimalism of decorative elements; thoughtful combination of different textures and materials.
The surroundings of the house — autumn trees and a neat landscape — complement the architectural composition, emphasizing the building's connection with nature.
