Before us stands an impressive country house in the style of a modern interpretation of an Alpine chalet with elements of American architecture. The facade presents a harmonious combination of natural stone and plastered surfaces, creating an expressive contrast of textures.
The dominant element of the facade is a tall stone chimney tower made of light limestone, which is not only functional but also serves as a powerful vertical accent, balancing the horizontal lines of the building. The wooden-detailed canopy that crowns the tower adds elegance and completeness to the structure.
The roof is designed with wide overhangs characteristic of Alpine style, protecting the walls from precipitation and creating an expressive play of shadows. The gray composite shingle roofing complements the overall color scheme of the exterior well.
Panoramic glazing and bay windows add modernity to the facade, while wooden decorative elements in the form of X-shaped crossings on the railings of balconies and terraces reference the traditional chalet design. The basement level and elements of the lower part of the building are faced with natural stone, creating a sense of solidity and connection with the landscape.
The surrounding landscaping with stone retaining walls and neat paving of the driveway organically complements the architectural composition, integrating the house into the surrounding environment.
For your own house, you could adopt techniques such as: combining various facade materials (stone, plaster, wood); using vertical architectural dominants; creating a volumetric-spatial composition with protruding and recessed elements; applying decorative wooden elements to give the building a recognizable style; organizing a well-thought-out system of terraces and balconies that are not only functional but also enrich the plasticity of the facade.
