This example of modern coastal architecture showcases an impressive combination of contrasting materials and geometric forms. The building's facade is organized around a vertical cylindrical tower with metal cladding, which becomes the central accent of the composition. The tower's metal panels create a rhythmic vertical texture that contrasts with the laconic concrete surfaces of the main volume.
The thoughtful approach to window openings deserves special attention: narrow vertical windows on the cylindrical element emphasize its height, while horizontal windows in the concrete section create visual balance. The first-floor facade features glass panels in metal frames, adding lightness to the building's base and ensuring a visual connection with the coastal landscape.
The minimalist color palette—shades of gray and white—harmoniously blends with the surrounding marine landscape without competing with it. This facade design approach can be adapted for private construction as well: contrasting materials, playing with geometric forms, and carefully planned glazing help create an expressive architectural image even with a limited palette.
