The image showcases a modern country house that harmoniously combines two contrasting volumes: white and graphite-gray structures. The facade is designed in a modern farmhouse style, where traditional forms are reinterpreted through the lens of minimalist aesthetics.
The white volume with vertical board and batten siding is executed in a light color, giving it lightness and airiness. The graphite-gray section with its characteristic gabled roof is clad in vertical panels, creating an interesting texture and rhythm on the facade. Particularly noteworthy is the panoramic glazing of the gable end and the sliding door system that completely opens the living room space to the courtyard, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior.
The facade design incorporates thoughtful details: minimalist wall sconces that emphasize the vertical rhythm of the cladding; stone veneer on the chimney, adding natural texture; a horizontal strip of windows beneath the roof of the gray volume, visually lightening the structure's massiveness. The wooden deck creates a smooth transition between the house and garden.
For those wishing to apply similar techniques in their own home design, it's worth noting the contrasting combination of materials and colors, the use of large-format glazing to connect with the surrounding landscape, and the combination of traditional forms (gabled roof) with contemporary solutions (minimalist design, open spaces). Vertical facade cladding is an excellent way to give a house visual height and elegance.
