#11638. Stone facade with cantilevered terrace: mountain house in harmony with landscape

The architectural structure presented demonstrates an excellent example of a modern mountain house organically integrated into the hillside terrain. The facade of the building is created using a contrasting combination of natural materials: dominant stonework using local stone and modern elements made of dark metal and glass.

The architectural composition represents a stepped structure that follows the natural slope of the landscape. The main facade is characterized by a bold projecting volume on the second floor, forming an open terrace with minimalist glass railings. This cantilevered element creates dynamic tension and visual lightness, contrasting with the massiveness of the stone walls.

Particularly noteworthy is the masterful use of textures – the rough surface of natural stone is juxtaposed with smooth, geometrically precise inserts of dark panels and large glazed surfaces. The roof is executed in the same texture as some horizontal elements, creating a sense of compositional unity.

In designing your own home, several techniques can be borrowed: using a combination of traditional and modern materials to create an expressive facade; integrating architecture into the surrounding landscape; working with cantilevered elements to create interesting spatial solutions; using large glazed surfaces to provide panoramic views and natural lighting.
