Before us stands an impressive example of contemporary wooden architecture, where natural environment and man-made structure engage in a harmonious dialogue. The building is organically integrated into a birch grove, creating a sense that nature and architecture mutually penetrate one another.
The facade presents a complex composition of volumes clad in wooden panels of a warm golden hue. The architect masterfully combines vertical and horizontal cladding, creating an interesting rhythmic pattern. Particularly noteworthy are the glass elements – large windows and clerestory lights that provide abundant natural illumination to the interior spaces and visually lighten the massiveness of the wooden volumes.
The structure of the facade exhibits modularity and asymmetry, giving the building a dynamic and contemporary character. Protruding volumes create an interesting play of light and shadow. The lower level of the building is partially elevated above the ground, making the construction appear lighter and emphasizing its connection with the surrounding landscape.
This project demonstrates effective techniques for private home facade design: combining various wood textures, contrasting materials (wood and glass), playing with geometry and volumes, and carefully respecting the natural context. Especially notable is how the architect preserved existing trees by integrating them into the architectural composition, which can serve as an inspiring example of an ecological approach to design.
