This is a modern residential building with a prominent wooden facade, demonstrating principles of ecological architecture. The vertical wooden cladding creates a unified texture for the entire volume of the building, giving it both monolithic appearance and a warm, natural character. The cubic form of the house is softened by wooden elements and thoughtful architectural details.
Particularly expressive is the external spiral staircase with metal railings, which adds dynamics to the strict geometry of the facade and serves not only as a functional element but also as a decorative feature. The upper level of the building is characterized by greater openness — panoramic glazing and a small terrace create lightness and airiness in the upper part of the volume.
The two-level structure of the building allows for clear zoning: the lower floor is more enclosed, with small window openings, while the upper floor offers extensive glazing and access to open space. The illumination visible through the windows in the evening creates a pleasant contrast with the dark sky and emphasizes the texture of the wooden cladding.
For your own home, this technique of using vertical wooden lamellae can be adapted even for partial facade cladding. The combination of wood with other materials, such as concrete or metal, will create an interesting contrast of textures. It's also worth paying attention to the expressiveness of external staircases as an architectural element and the thoughtful integration of open and closed spaces.
