Before us is an impressive example of modern coastal architecture — a house elevated above ground on stilts. This engineering solution not only protects the structure from potential flooding but also creates functional space for car parking underneath the building.
The facade is clad with light-colored horizontal wooden panels, giving the structure an organic, natural character. The contrasting combination of large dark window frames with light-colored cladding creates an expressive graphic effect. Particularly notable is the top floor with panoramic glazing that crowns the composition, allowing natural light to fill the interior space.
The architectural volume is built on the principle of a stepped cascade — from the main massive block to a more compact upper level with a terrace, enclosed by modern horizontal railings. A functional element in the form of a ventilation pipe is successfully integrated into the overall composition without disrupting the building's aesthetics.
The first level is partially concealed behind wooden screens that provide privacy while maintaining the visual lightness of the structure. The warm light emanating from within through windows of varying sizes creates a cozy atmosphere and emphasizes the residential character of the building.
In your own facade design, you could employ similar techniques: combining natural materials, playing with window sizes and placement, creating contrasting accents using different textures and materials (like the dark wooden accent on the right part of the facade), and using horizontal lines to visually expand the space.
