Before us is a modern residential house embodying the aesthetics of brutalism and minimalism. The facade presents an interesting combination of concrete structures and extensive glazing, creating a dialogue between heaviness and lightness. The upper level of the house is finished in dark tones with large panoramic windows, creating the effect of a floating volume above the light concrete base of the first floor.
Particularly noteworthy is the compositional play with volumes: the upper floor, clad in dark material, extends over the lower one, creating a cantilever and sheltered terrace space. The facade of the first floor is almost completely glazed, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The concrete walls of the lower level are left in their natural state, with visible formwork texture, emphasizing the industrial character of the building.
The design employs clean geometric lines, minimalist details, and expressive contrasts of materials. Special attention should be given to the organization of the open space in front of the house: a well-maintained lawn, simple garden furniture, and minimalist paving complement the architectural concept without overloading it with additional elements.
For your own facade design, you could borrow several techniques: contrasting combination of materials (dark top, light bottom), use of large panoramic windows to visually lighten the structure, creation of cantilever projections to form protected outdoor spaces, as well as bold exposition of structural elements of the building instead of concealing them.
