Cantilevered House with Wooden Slatted Facade

#12365. Cantilevered House with Wooden Slatted Facade

This modern house is a striking example of contrasting architecture, where the upper volume clad in vertical wooden slats hovers above a transparent glass base. The facade of the upper level is designed as a rhythmic wooden screen, creating an effect of light enclosure while maintaining a connection with the surrounding forest landscape.

The lower level is completely glazed, visually lightening the massive upper volume and creating the sensation that it floats in space. The glass facade of the first floor provides maximum permeability, blurring the boundaries between the interior space and the natural environment. Open sliding panels enhance this effect, allowing the house to literally "open up" to the landscape.

Particularly interesting is the cantilevered design of the upper volume, which forms a protected terrace and enhances the dramatic contrast between the enclosed top and open bottom. The wooden slats of the facade play not only a decorative but also a functional role, providing shading and creating an interplay of light and shadow in the interior.

A similar approach with wooden slats can be used for your own home to add texture and warmth to a contemporary minimalist facade. This solution works especially well in natural surroundings, where it helps the building integrate into the landscape while remaining a modern architectural object.
