This three-story residential building is an excellent example of contemporary minimalist architecture with clean geometric shapes and an expressive volumetric spatial solution. The snow-white facade with its asymmetrical composition creates a striking visual effect against the blue sky background.
The architectural solution is built on playing with volumes and cutouts, creating an interesting rhythm and dynamics. The facade is characterized by sharp lines, straight angles, and contrast between solid white wall surfaces and large glazed openings. Particularly eye-catching are the protruding volumes of the upper floors, which create sheltered balcony spaces.
The color scheme of the facade is based on a minimalist palette: white dominates and is emphasized by accent inserts of red and yellow colors on the balcony doors. The ground floor features extensive glazing, creating a sense of lightness and contrasting with the more enclosed upper floors.
In designing your own house, you can apply similar techniques: playing with geometric shapes, using contrasting volumes, creating protruding elements to form protected outdoor spaces. The technique of color accents against a neutral facade base works particularly effectively. Using large glazing on the first level can also be a winning solution to visually lighten the mass of the building.
