The presented architectural work showcases a modern wooden house with a minimalist approach to facade design. The building features a clear geometric form with a flat roof and is clad with vertical wooden lamellas in a dark gray shade, creating a rhythmic pattern throughout the perimeter.
The facade is designed in the spirit of Scandinavian minimalism, where the main emphasis is placed on the natural quality of the material and its texture. The vertical arrangement of wooden planks is not only aesthetically appealing but also functional – it facilitates natural water drainage, extending the lifespan of the cladding. Laconic ribbon-type window openings on the upper level and larger glazed surfaces on the lower level create an interesting contrast and provide sufficient natural lighting.
A distinctive feature of the architectural solution is the cantilevered second floor, creating a protected space above the entrance area and adding dynamism to the simple form. The combination of the wooden facade with elements of natural stone and concrete in the retaining wall creates a harmonious transition between architecture and surrounding landscape.
In your own project, a similar approach to the facade can be used, paying attention to the quality of wooden cladding and its treatment for protection against external factors. Key techniques worth borrowing include monochromaticity, rhythmic elements in the cladding, minimalist window openings, and a skillful combination of various natural materials in the finishing.
