Before us is a striking example of modern architecture in the minimalist style with elements of modernism. The facade presents a harmonious combination of contrasting materials – warm reddish-brown wood and white brick masonry, creating a visually appealing composition. The wooden cladding of the upper cubic volume, seemingly floating above the white base of the first floor, adds dynamism and lightness to the building.
The cantilevered extension of the second floor is particularly expressive, emphasizing the contemporary character of the architecture. The abundance of glazing ensures a close connection between the interior and the surrounding nature – the panoramic windows of the ground floor visually blur the boundary between internal and external spaces. On the second floor, the open terrace with glass railings is notable, not only expanding the living space but also providing an opportunity to enjoy views of the surrounding forest landscape.
The laconic lines, clear geometry of volumes, and thoughtful combination of materials make the facade both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The same minimalist approach is evident in the landscaping – a neat lawn, ornamental grasses, and the absence of excessive details in the landscape design, which only emphasizes the architectural merits of the building.
When designing your own home, you might consider the following techniques: contrasting material combinations to highlight volumes, the use of cantilever structures to create architectural expressiveness, abundant glazing to ensure natural lighting and visual connection with the surroundings, as well as the integration of open spaces (terraces) into the overall architectural composition.
