The presented image showcases an expressive example of contemporary architecture with deep respect for its natural context. The building is characterized by a harmonious combination of traditional materials and minimalist modern forms. The main element of the facade is natural stonework using local stone in various shades – from sandy to grayish-brown. This solution not only ensures excellent integration of the building into the surrounding hilly landscape but also creates a sense of solidity and durability.
The architectural composition is built on the contrast between a massive stone base and a lightweight upper section with large glazed surfaces. The facade gains particular expressiveness from the suspended structure of a metal frame with a pergola made of natural materials, which serves not only an aesthetic but also a practical function of protection from excessive sunlight. The clean lines of the metal framework create a geometric frame that emphasizes the rectangular forms of the building.
It's worth noting the terraced organization of the space around the house with low-growing plantings that complement the architectural solution and soften the transition from the building to the natural landscape. Stone pathways and retaining walls maintain the unity of the material solution.
For those who would like to apply similar techniques in their own projects, the following elements can be highlighted: using local materials (in this case, stone) to create a connection with the surroundings; contrasting combination of massive opaque and lightweight glazed surfaces; application of suspended structures to create transitional spaces between interior and exterior; integration of landscape design into the architectural concept of the facade.
