The image showcases a compact modern house with an impressive facade solution that combines brutal concrete with warm wood. The lower part of the structure is made of monolithic concrete with the characteristic texture of formwork, creating horizontal lines on the surface. The upper level and roof form a dramatic wooden structure with a high pitched roof, utilizing exposed rafter elements.
The facade features an asymmetrical compositional solution with large glazing on the front part of the second floor, providing abundant natural light to the interior. The contrast between the heavyweight concrete base and the visually lighter wooden top is particularly interesting. The evening lighting visible in the photograph emphasizes the warmth of the wooden elements and creates a "glowing lantern" effect in the forest surroundings.
The entrance area is designed with a minimalist concrete staircase with built-in lights, which enhances the modern character of the building. Special attention should be paid to the thoughtful combination of materials: cold concrete is balanced by the warmth of wood, creating a harmonious yet contrasting image.
For home construction, this project demonstrates effective facade techniques: the use of contrasting materials, playing with proportions and forms, dramatic evening lighting that highlights architectural elements, and a clever combination of closed and open volumes. This approach allows even a small structure to look expressive and modern while blending organically with the natural environment.
