This modern Scandinavian wooden residence, situated amidst a natural landscape, exemplifies a superb combination of traditional materials and minimalist aesthetics. The building's facade features a simple geometric form with a characteristic triangular silhouette of the pitched roof, which references the archetypal form of a classic house.
The exterior finish presents a harmonious combination of vertical wooden panels in a natural gray tone in the upper section and neat stonework at the lower level. This solution not only visually lightens the structure but also creates an interesting textural contrast between the rough, naturally aged wood and the ordered stone masonry. The choice of materials reflects a conscious approach to sustainability and an aspiration to integrate the building into the surrounding landscape.
The facade's window openings are organized in a minimalist and functional manner: a horizontal window on the upper level and large glass doors on the lower level, providing a panoramic view of the natural landscape and the lake in the distance. The wooden window frames create a warm accent against the neutral background of the facade. Special attention should be given to the thoughtfully designed covered rest area—a transitional space between interior and exterior.
When designing your own facade, several techniques from this project can be adopted: the contrasting combination of natural materials with different textures; the use of vertical rhythm in the cladding to visually elongate the facade; minimalist placement of window openings taking into account internal functions and external views; creation of protected semi-open spaces that extend the living area into nature.
