#10208. Vertical façade with contrasting combination of wood and glass

This modern building with its expressive façade of warm wood and glass is an excellent example of how natural materials can be harmoniously integrated into contemporary architecture. The vertical composition is emphasized by a tall wooden panel of reddish-brown boards, creating a striking accent and contrast with the glazed portion of the façade. This wooden tower, clad in thermally treated wood panels, serves not only as a decorative element but also as a functional dominant feature in the overall composition of the structure.

The façade is divided into clear geometric segments using dark frames that create a modular grid for the glazing. The alternation of transparent glass surfaces and opaque inserts forms a dynamic rhythm, adding visual lightness to the building despite its compact form. The staircase structure, visible from the side, is integrated into the exterior appearance of the building, emphasizing the connection between interior space and exterior.

Stone elements are used in the design of the ground floor, creating a solid foundation for the structure and providing a visual transition to the surrounding landscape. This façade solution can be adapted for a private home, using a combination of wooden panels with large glazing to create a modern yet warm and natural appearance. The contrasting combination of materials is one of the main techniques that allows for creating an expressive and memorable façade even for a small building.
