#11589. White Minimalist Facade with Wooden Accents: A Modern Hillside Residence

The image shows a modern white residential building with a minimalist facade, situated on a hillside. The structure stands out among the more traditional surrounding buildings with its geometric purity and the original solution for the upper part featuring a sloped roof resembling a mansard.

The facade is executed in a minimalist style, where the main accents are wooden window frames in a warm brown shade, effectively contrasting with the snow-white plastered walls. The composition of the glazing is particularly interesting – rectangular windows of different sizes are arranged asymmetrically, which adds dynamism to the strict geometry of the building.

The architect skillfully utilized the terrain, creating a multi-level concrete foundation that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The protruding balconies with metal railings add lightness to the building and create transitional spaces between interior and exterior, providing residents with views of the surrounding hills.

In designing your own facade, you could note several techniques from this project: the contrasting combination of materials (such as white plaster and natural wood), playing with the geometry of window openings, and using protruding elements to create visual interest. The vertical articulation of the facade helps to visually elongate the building, while the non-standard roof shape makes the silhouette recognizable.
