Before us is a striking example of modern architecture, where the building's facade is executed in a unique gabion construction technique. The entire volume of the house is clad with metal mesh boxes filled with natural stone, creating an expressive texture and tactility.
The facade takes the form of a simple geometric volume with a gabled roof, referencing the archetypal image of a house, albeit realized in non-traditional materials. The monolithic stone shell is interrupted by minimalist window openings with wooden frames, which bring a warm contrast to the cold texture of the stone.
Particularly noteworthy is the organization of the lower level, where the glazed ground floor with wooden elements creates a sense of lightness and openness, juxtaposed against the massiveness of the upper part of the structure. The wooden deck in front of the house naturally extends the interior space and softens the brutality of the stone volume.
This approach to facade design demonstrates the effective use of contrasts: heavy and light, transparent and impenetrable, natural and structured. For personal home construction, this gabion technique can be adapted either as a full-scale solution or as accent elements of the facade, retaining walls, or landscape features, combining sustainability, durability, and contemporary aesthetics.
