#10629. Modern two-level facade with contrasting finishes and cantilevered roof

This modern residential object showcases an impeccable example of minimalist architecture with clean geometry and thoughtful proportions. The facade features a two-tone palette, with the upper level clad in horizontal wooden panels in a warm brown shade, while the lower level is finished in a darker, almost black material, creating a striking contrast.

The distinctive flat roof with wide overhangs gives the building a characteristic silhouette reminiscent of classic mid-20th century modernist works. Particularly noteworthy is the corner solution of the facade—the protruding cantilevered roof element creates dynamic tension and visual lightness to the upper volume.

The window openings are resolved minimally: a horizontal window with an opening sash on the upper level, and large glass doors on the lower level that maximize the connection between interior and exterior spaces. The evening lighting glowing from within emphasizes the transparency of the lower level and the solidity of the upper one.

The landscape design logically complements the architecture: stone slabs form a terrace with a built-in fire pit, creating a cozy outdoor space connected to the interior. This approach to organizing an open area with fire can be adapted for any country house to create a functional extension of the living space outdoors.

For your own project, you might note the successful combination of facade materials, the play with contrasting textures, the skillful use of horizontal cladding lines to visually expand the volume, and the carefully designed evening lighting that highlights the architectural features of the building.
