This impressive example of modern mountain architecture represents a harmonious combination of innovative design and natural surroundings. The facade is dominated by a grand copper arch that not only forms the visual identity of the building but also creates a dramatic contrast with the surrounding landscape. The copper material of the facade will develop a patina over time, enhancing the integration of the structure into the natural environment.
The facade is distinguished by its bold use of glass — panoramic windows occupying virtually the entire front section of the arched structure provide maximum connection between the interior space and the stunning mountain views. The architect masterfully works with material contrasts: the warm tone of copper is juxtaposed against the cold transparency of glass and gray concrete elements in the side portion of the building.
Notable is the harmonious integration of the building into the slope — a partially submerged lower floor with greenery in front creates the impression that the structure naturally grows from the earth. The green plantings framing the approach to the building soften the geometric rigor of the architectural forms and serve as a smooth transition between the man-made object and untouched nature.
For private home construction, this project demonstrates several valuable techniques: the use of arched forms to create dramatic effect, integration of the building into the terrain, playing with contrasting facade materials, and thoughtful landscaping that visually connects the house with the surrounding landscape.
