#12415. Semi-circular concrete facade with rhythmic vertical elements

This is an impressive example of modern architecture with a pronounced brutalist aesthetic, softened by sophisticated details. The building's facade presents a harmonious combination of concrete structures and extensive glazing. A distinctive feature is the smooth semi-circular form of the upper level, which contrasts with the more rigid lines of the lower part of the building.

The facade demonstrates an interesting interplay of textures and volumes. The concrete surfaces create a simple yet effective background for the architectural composition. Vertical railing elements, executed as thin metal rods, add lightness to the entire structure and create a rhythmic pattern that visually unifies different levels of the building. These elements also serve a practical purpose, providing privacy without completely blocking the view.

Large panoramic windows maximize natural lighting and ensure a connection with the surrounding landscape. The upper tier with its semi-circular shape and continuous line of glazing is particularly striking, likely offering stunning views from the inside.

The minimalist landscape design with low-growing plants and gravel covering perfectly complements the building's architecture, not distracting attention from it and emphasizing its horizontal lines. The lighting at the time of shooting (likely during sunset) gives the concrete surfaces a warm pinkish hue, softening their visual weight.

For home design, several techniques can be borrowed: the use of vertical elements in railings to create rhythm and lightness; combination of different materials (concrete, glass, metal) to create textural contrast; play with geometric shapes to add dynamism; and clever use of natural lighting through thoughtful window placement.
