This modern residential building is an expressive example of how wooden slats can transform a facade into a dynamic composition. The base of the building is executed in a dark color, creating a striking contrast with the warm wooden elements. The distinctive feature of the facade is the original arrangement of wooden battens forming an asymmetrical geometric pattern that breaks the monotony of the wall plane.
The wooden cladding serves not only an aesthetic but also a functional purpose, working as a sunscreen and creating an interplay of light and shadow. The architect has masterfully used diagonal lines that give the facade dynamism and visual rhythm. The entrance area with its white door stands out effectively against the wooden ornamentation, becoming a focal point of the composition.
The window openings are integrated into the overall design concept, framed by the same wooden slats, ensuring coherence of perception. The minimalist landscaping at the entrance softens the strict geometry of the facade and adds a natural element to the urban design.
When designing your own house, you can adopt this technique — using contrasting materials and rhythmic arrangement of wooden elements. Such an approach not only creates a unique appearance for the building but also allows for regulation of natural lighting and ventilation, as well as visually correcting the proportions of the house. It's important to consider the angle and density of the slats' placement, taking into account the orientation of the facade relative to the cardinal directions.
