This modern extension with an expressive black facade presents an excellent example of contrasting architecture. The main volume is designed as a minimalist composition with characteristic angular roof slopes, referencing traditional architecture but reinterpreted in a contemporary manner. The vertical black cladding creates a rhythmic texture and visually elongates the structure.
The central element of the facade is a monolithic concrete column in a light shade, which serves not only as a structural element but also houses a fireplace that opens to both interior and exterior spaces. This architectural technique creates an important visual pause in the dark volume of the building while simultaneously connecting the interior with the exterior.
Large glass sliding doors and windows maximize the opening of the interior space to the garden, blurring the boundary between the house and nature. The laconic terrace with dark wooden decking continues the architectural concept and creates a functional outdoor relaxation area.
When designing your own facade, you can adopt several techniques from this project: the contrasting combination of materials (dark wood and light concrete), vertical cladding to create dynamism and visually increase height, integration of functional elements (fireplace) into the architectural composition, and the thoughtful connection between interior and exterior spaces through large glazed surfaces.
