Before us is an impressive example of a modern interpretation of classic coastal architecture in the shingle style. The façade of the house is completely covered with wooden shingles, creating a unified textural canvas from roof to foundation, giving the building integrity and organic quality.
Particularly expressive are the steep slopes of the pointed roof, forming the characteristic silhouette of the building. The architect masterfully used asymmetry in the composition of the façade: multi-level volumes, protruding bay windows, and deep niches create a dynamic play of light and shadow. The gray-beige shade of wooden shingles harmoniously combines with darker window frames.
The first floor is partially designed as an open space with wooden louvered panels, which visually lightens the massive volume of the structure. The monumental chimney, clad in the same material as the main façade, serves as the vertical dominant of the composition. Large windows with a clear rhythm of frames provide abundant natural light and visual connection with the surrounding landscape.
When designing your own house, you can take note of several techniques: using a single material for roofing and walls creates a cohesive image; playing with volumes and asymmetry makes the façade dynamic; vertical accents (like a chimney) add expressiveness to the silhouette; thoughtful placement of window openings provides not only practicality but also rhythmic organization of the façade.
