Modern House with Contrasting Facade: White Plaster and Wooden Slats

#12358. Modern House with Contrasting Facade: White Plaster and Wooden Slats

The modern residential house presented in the image demonstrates an expressive interplay of contrasts and materials. The architecture is based on clear geometric forms, where white plastered surfaces effectively combine with warm wooden facade elements. Particularly noteworthy is the use of vertical wooden slats, which create an interesting texture and rhythm on specific areas of the exterior.

The volumetric and spatial composition of the house is built on a combination of simple cubic forms with small projections and recesses, which adds dynamism to the entire appearance of the building. The architect skillfully used the "volume subtraction" technique, forming covered terraces and niches that provide sun-protected relaxation areas. This play with volumes creates interesting light and shadow effects on the facade throughout the day.

On the first level, an open terrace with wooden decking is organized, leading to a small pool. Notable here are the landscape design elements—minimalist lawn and ornamental grasses that organically complement the architectural image. The terrace area is equipped with loungers and a hanging hammock, emphasizing the home's orientation toward comfortable outdoor relaxation.

When designing your own house, you can take note of techniques such as the contrasting combination of materials (in this case, white plaster and wood), the use of wooden slats or panels to accentuate specific areas of the facade, and the creation of sun-protected niches and terraces. The alternation of solid and glazed surfaces also contributes to creating an expressive architectural appearance.
