The modern country house presented in the image is a magnificent example of Scandinavian architecture with pronounced chalet style influences. The facade features an asymmetrical gabled roof with a substantial eave overhang, creating not only an expressive silhouette but also protecting the terrace from precipitation.
The most impressive feature of the facade is the abundance of panoramic glazing that occupies almost the entire front of the building. The glass surfaces are organized in a clear structure of vertical and horizontal sections, visually lightening the massive construction. The contrast between the dark facade finishing and light window profiles emphasizes the architectural composition.
The open terrace with access to the garden deserves special attention, as it visually expands the living space. The first-floor facade is partially designed as an open space with panoramic sliding doors, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior.
When designing the facade of your own home, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting combination of materials (dark cladding and light window frames), use of large glass surfaces for maximum natural lighting, creation of protected open spaces under the roof overhang, and integration of architecture into the surrounding landscape, which this project beautifully demonstrates against the backdrop of a coniferous forest.
