The building showcased here demonstrates an intriguing example of a modern interpretation of traditional Scandinavian architecture with a contrasting extension. The main part of the house is a traditional white structure with a black gabled roof and classic window openings featuring small panes. The facade of the main volume is clad in white horizontal panels, characteristic of Nordic architectural tradition.
Of particular interest is the modern black extension, contrasting with the main white volume in both color and architectural language. The addition is finished with dark horizontal panels and includes a large panoramic window that creates visual lightness and connection with the surrounding landscape. The extension is topped with a roof that repeats the angle of the main roof, ensuring compositional unity.
Solar panels or skylight windows are installed on the main roof, harmoniously integrated into the roof plane. The design solution is clearly aimed at creating a dialogue between traditional and contemporary, expressed not only in color contrast (white/black) but also in different approaches to window openings (traditional small windows versus modern panoramic glazing).
When designing your own facade, you could adopt this technique of contrasting traditional and modern elements, playing with textures and colors, as well as creating architectural accents through various types of glazing. This approach allows for respectful treatment of architectural heritage while simultaneously adding modern elements to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the home.
