Before us is an expressive example of modern eco-architecture: a wooden house with a minimalist facade and a prominent energy-efficient component. The main feature of the building is the combination of a warm wooden facade with an extensive solar panel array covering the entire plane of the pitched roof. The architectural form represents a contemporary interpretation of the traditional barnhouse with its characteristic gabled roof.
The facade is clad with wooden panels in vertical orientation, creating a rhythmic texture and emphasizing the height of the building. Particularly interesting are the protruding rectangular elements on the facade – vertical window openings with deep slopes that add volume and dynamics to an otherwise flat surface, creating an expressive play of light and shadow. The ground floor contrasts with the upper level thanks to large panoramic windows that provide abundant natural lighting to the interior spaces and a visual connection with the surrounding landscape.
In the facade design, one can note the successful combination of aesthetics and functionality. Solar panels are integrated into the architecture not as an addition but as an organic part of the building concept. The natural color of the wood and its texture create a warm atmosphere while simultaneously connecting the structure with the surrounding nature – the building harmoniously sits among the greenery.
Similar techniques in facade design – vertical wooden cladding, protruding window blocks, contrasting combination of materials (wood and glass), as well as the integration of energy-saving technologies – can be successfully used in modern private house construction to create environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and visually appealing housing.
