Biophilic Concrete Facade: Integration of Greenery into Monolithic Architecture

#12176. Biophilic Concrete Facade: Integration of Greenery into Monolithic Architecture

Before us is a modern residential building with an expressive minimalist facade made of light gray concrete. The architectural solution is characterized by clear geometry and cubic forms. The facade presents itself as a monolithic concrete structure with visible formwork marks, giving the surface tactility and depth.

Special expressiveness is created by projecting balcony-terraces of different sizes, which visually break up the monolithic nature of the facade and create a dynamic rhythm. Each balcony is designed as a planter, transforming architectural elements into living green oases. Particularly noteworthy is the upper terrace with small trees crowning the building.

The window openings have a horizontal orientation and lack decorative frames, which emphasizes the clean lines. An interesting solution is that some windows become "windows into nature," offering views of internal green spaces. The central entrance is highlighted by a deep niche, creating a portal effect.

This facade demonstrates a contemporary approach to ecological architecture through the integration of greenery into the structural elements of the building. Similar techniques can be adapted for a private home: textured concrete with visible formwork marks, green balconies and terraces, large window openings without casings, and the use of clear geometric shapes to create an expressive and modern appearance.

We design facade renovations of country houses.
