Cubic House with Contrasting Facade: Brick and Concrete in Modern Architecture

#11538. Cubic House with Contrasting Facade: Brick and Concrete in Modern Architecture

This modern residence is a striking example of minimalist architecture with an expressive contrast of materials. The facade is designed as a clear geometric composition, where the upper volume is clad in warm terracotta brickwork, while the lower section features smooth gray concrete. This combination creates an interesting visual and textural contrast.

The upper cubic volume appears to float above the ground floor, emphasized by the use of different materials. A large panoramic window on the second floor is framed in minimalist black trim, which stands out effectively against the brick background and creates a geometric accent. The lower floor is more enclosed, with vertical elements in the entrance area design, adding rhythm and texture to the facade.

The evening lighting skillfully highlights the architectural features of the building: spot lighting at the base of the walls creates a soft glow, accentuating the volume of the house against the surrounding space. The landscape solution with minimalist greenery harmoniously complements the architecture without overwhelming the overall impression.

This approach to facade design can be used in your own project, emphasizing the combination of contrasting materials (such as brick and concrete, wood and metal), using large window openings as architectural accents, and applying thoughtful lighting that highlights geometry and texture in the evening hours.
