This is a magnificent example of a modern country house in the shingle style, harmoniously integrated into the forest landscape. The façade showcases classic features of North American architecture with elements of traditional country and craftsman styles.
The main façade material is light gray wooden shingles, which harmoniously combines with the stone veneer of the basement level and chimney. This combination of materials creates an interesting textural contrast and visually anchors the house, making it part of its natural surroundings.
The façade is characterized by an asymmetrical composition with an expressive gabled section and numerous windows of varying sizes, organized in thoughtful groupings. Particularly noteworthy are the large second-floor windows with traditional multi-pane glazing, which provide abundant natural light and views of the surrounding forest.
Architectural details include an elegant open deck with white railings, a stone chimney, an overhanging roof with supporting brackets, and dormer windows. The façade's color palette – muted natural tones – emphasizes the building's connection to nature.
When designing your own façade in a similar style, consider: combining natural materials (stone and wood), multi-level volumes, thoughtful arrangement of window groups, using open terraces as transitional spaces between the house and nature, and expressive architectural elements such as the chimney and roof brackets.
