Floating Facade: Contemporary Mansion with Material Contrast and Cantilevered Structure

#12232. Floating Facade: Contemporary Mansion with Material Contrast and Cantilevered Structure

This modern mansion with its expressive cantilevered volume represents a magnificent example of contemporary architecture, where various materials and spatial solutions merge. The facade plays with material contrasts: warm wooden cladding on the upper level softens the austerity of the dark metal framing. The main architectural technique here is the overhanging second floor with large panoramic glazing, creating the effect of the structure floating above the first level.

Particularly impressive is the solution of the open space on the ground floor, which smoothly flows onto a wooden deck with minimalist white furniture. The building's facade is almost completely transparent at the lower level, ensuring a visual connection between interior and exterior, blurring the boundaries between them. The upper part of the facade, despite its massiveness, appears light thanks to the large glass strip and wooden finish.

When designing a similar facade for your own home, several techniques can be adopted: the contrast of materials (wood/metal/glass), the use of cantilevered structures to create dynamism, maximum glazing to ensure scenic views, and the integration of open terraces as extensions of living space. It's also important to pay attention to the harmonious combination of geometric forms — here, the clean lines of the facade create an expressive architectural image against the backdrop of a picturesque natural landscape.
