Before us is a striking example of a modern forest residence with an expressive façade that clearly demonstrates the influence of modernist architecture. The building features a dynamic roof structure with sharp angles and significant overhangs, creating a dramatic "floating wings" effect. This asymmetrical gabled roof with opposing slopes forms a unique silhouette that harmoniously blends into the surrounding forest landscape.
The façade is clad in warm wooden panels, presumably heat-treated timber or high-quality composite material imitating natural wood. The horizontal pattern of the cladding creates a sense of breadth and stability, contrasting with the dynamic roof lines. Large panoramic windows and glass doors provide abundant natural light and establish a visual connection with the natural surroundings, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior.
The building's architecture demonstrates a thoughtful combination of materials: wood, glass, and metal (visible in the awning structures and terrace) create a harmonious yet contemporary image. Particularly interesting is the elevated foundation solution, which makes the house resemble an elegant pavilion floating above the landscape. Metal supports and a side terrace with railings consisting of thin horizontal elements enhance this sensation.
When designing your own façade, you might borrow the following techniques: using contrasting materials in the finishing (natural wood and metal/glass), creating a dynamic roof silhouette with large overhangs to protect the façade and create intermediate spaces between the house and nature, thoughtful placement of window openings for maximum use of natural light and viewpoints, as well as an elevated structure to adapt to the terrain and create an additional architectural effect.
