The presented house demonstrates an interesting contrast between traditional and modern materials, creating an expressive architectural image. The lower part of the facade is faced with irregularly shaped natural stone in a natural color palette of sandy and gray shades, giving the building solidity and a connection to the earth. The masonry is executed with high craftsmanship, emphasizing the texture and individuality of each element.
The upper level features a bold glazed triangular space with a minimalist metal frame forming clean geometric lines. This glass triangular structure serves as the dominant compositional element, allowing maximum natural light inside the room and creating visual lightness in the upper part of the building.
Of particular interest are the Corten steel elements in an orange-rust color that form the perimeter of the terrace. This material, which acquires a noble patina over time, contrasts with both the stonework and glass surfaces, adding a third visual and textural layer to the overall composition.
In designing your own facade, you can use a similar combination of contrasting materials—a heavy base of natural stone and a light glazed top. This approach is not only visually interesting but also functionally justified: stone provides thermal insulation and strength, while large glass surfaces fill the interior with light. Corten steel can become an accent element, emphasizing architectural lines and creating a connection between different facade materials.
