#11643. Modern wooden façade with contrasting cladding and cantilevered overhang

This modern residential house is an expressive example of minimalist architecture dominated by clean geometric shapes and natural materials. The façade is effectively divided into two parts by finishing materials: the upper volume is clad with light-colored horizontal wooden panels creating a rhythmic pattern, while the lower level features darker wood with vertical board orientation, providing an interesting contrast.

The compositional solution of the façade is built on the interplay of volumes — the upper floor cantilevers over the lower one, creating a dynamic overhang. Laconic rectangular window openings of various sizes are arranged asymmetrically, giving the building a contemporary character. The large corner window particularly stands out, not only providing abundant natural light to the interior spaces but also visually lightening the massiveness of the upper volume.

The house is organically integrated into the surrounding natural landscape — tall pine trees create a picturesque backdrop, emphasizing the ecological nature of the architectural solution. The open terrace with minimalist garden furniture extends the living space and creates a smooth transition between interior and exterior.

In your own project, a similar approach to façade design can be adapted by using a combination of materials with different textures and laying directions to create visual interest. Horizontal cladding visually widens the building, while vertical cladding emphasizes its height. Cantilevered projections, large window openings, and clear geometry can become key elements of a contemporary façade, while natural materials will ensure harmonious integration of the house into the surrounding environment.
