#11687. Modern country house with limestone facade and contrasting metal roofing

The presented image showcases a modern country house with an impressive combination of natural materials. The dominant element of the facade is light limestone masonry, which gives the structure solidity and connection to the natural landscape. This natural stone creates a textural play on the wall surfaces, especially in contrast with the dark gray metal roofing.

The architectural composition represents an ensemble of several volumes of different heights, united by a common stylistic solution. The gabled roof with clean lines gives the house a contemporary interpretation of a traditional form. Particularly interesting is the contrast between the massiveness of the stone walls and the lightness of large windows in black frames, which organize a rhythmic division of the facade and ensure the connection between interior space and garden.

Wooden elements are also present in the design – terraces and decorative inserts on the facade, which soften the strictness of stone masonry and add warmth to the overall image. Thoughtful transitions with multi-level terraces made of natural wood organically connect the house with the well-maintained lawn, creating a smooth flow of architecture into the landscape.

When designing your own facade, several techniques from this project can be utilized: combination of natural materials with contrasting textures, a restrained color palette, large window openings in dark frames to create an expressive contrast, as well as multi-level terraces as an element of integrating the house into the surrounding space.
