Before us is an expressive example of modern architecture harmoniously integrated into a mountainous landscape. This residential house demonstrates a masterful combination of natural materials and geometric purity of forms. The facade is clad with warm wooden panels that create an attractive contrast with concrete elements and extensive glazing.
The compositional solution of the facade with its clear horizontal lines and shifted volumes draws special attention. The architect skillfully utilized a two-level structure, where the upper floor extends over the lower one, forming an elegant canopy and terrace. The central element of the facade is a vertical concrete column with a chimney, which visually divides the building into two functional zones and serves as a compositional dominant.
The panoramic glazing not only provides a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains but also visually lightens the massiveness of the structure. The flat roof with wooden finishing underneath emphasizes the modern character of the building and gives it elegance.
The landscape design of the adjacent territory uses ornamental grasses and low shrubs that emphasize the geometry of architectural lines and create a transition between the man-made structure and the natural environment. Concrete retaining walls and wooden screens form a multi-level landscape, adding dynamics to the entire composition.
For your own house, you could borrow techniques such as using natural materials in facade finishing, contrasting combinations of wood and concrete, creating protruding volumes to form protected outdoor spaces, and integrating panoramic glazing for maximum connection with the surrounding landscape.
