#11024. Mountain residence with rustic facade of stone and aged timber

The presented image showcases an excellent example of contemporary mountain architecture that harmoniously blends with the natural landscape. The residence is executed in a rustic style with elements of traditional chalet design, yet with a modern interpretation.

The facade of the building represents a masterful combination of natural materials. The dominant elements are massive stone towers made of roughly processed local stone, creating an impression of strength and durability. These contrast with wooden elements of aged timber that add warmth and organic quality to the structure. Particularly expressive is the vertical stone tower with panoramic glazing in its upper part, serving not only as an architectural dominant but likely providing magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

The architectural solution includes a covered wooden bridge-passage connecting parts of the complex and creating a unique composition. This element is not only functional but adds structural interest to the entire ensemble. The pitched roofs with wide eaves are typical for mountain architecture and provide effective protection from snow.

The facade finishing shows attention to detail: wooden beams supporting the roof, stone foundations, a carefully selected color palette corresponding to the surrounding natural landscape. Large windows with wooden frames provide abundant natural lighting and a visual connection with the surrounding nature.

In your own facade design, you could borrow the idea of combining contrasting materials (stone and wood), using vertical elements to create accents, as well as the principle of designing "from inside out," where the placement and size of windows are determined by view perspectives. It's also worth noting the harmonious combination of the building with landscape design, which we see in the form of a stone terrace with integrated vegetation.
