Modern mountain residence with dual stone and wood facade

#10568. Modern mountain residence with dual stone and wood facade

The presented image showcases a magnificent modern mountain home that masterfully combines natural materials with contemporary architectural solutions. The building's facade is particularly expressive due to the harmonious combination of stone and wood – two traditional materials reimagined in a modern context.

The stone cladding of the lower level and the massive stone chimney create a sense of solidity and connection to the earth. The irregular natural stone is laid with visible craftsmanship, giving the facade textural richness and visual interest. The upper level contrasts with the stone foundation through abundant glass in wooden frames and warm wooden elements, visually lightening the structure.

The facade features an asymmetrical composition with two distinct volumes: on the left, a contemporary section with a flat roof and large rectangular windows; on the right, a more traditional section with a gabled roof and triangular pediment. This duality creates a dynamic yet harmonious exterior.

Particularly noteworthy are the open second-floor terrace with metal railings and spiral staircase, as well as the covered terrace on the lower level. Large panoramic windows blur the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, which is a key technique in contemporary mountain architecture.

For your own home design, consider implementing these techniques: combining contrasting materials (stone/wood/glass/metal); using large windows for maximum natural light; creating open and semi-open spaces (terraces, porches); accentuating vertical elements (chimney); playing with roof geometry; and using warm lighting to highlight the texture of facade materials in the evening.
