#12546. Modern two-level house with contrasting wood and stone facade

This modern residential house exemplifies a harmonious combination of various materials and volumes. The main facade is characterized by the contrasting use of dark wooden cladding and light stone elements, creating an expressive composition. The upper level with its unconventionally shaped sloped roof is finished with vertical wooden panels, giving the building warmth and texture.

The facade features an interesting play of geometric forms - an asymmetrical roof with multiple slopes, protruding volumes, and large panoramic windows. The second floor partially overhangs the first, creating a sheltered terrace area. The abundance of glass surfaces on the second floor provides excellent natural lighting and a visual connection with the surrounding landscape.

The ground floor is predominantly made of concrete, providing a solid foundation for the lighter upper level. Particularly interesting is the property boundary solution - a semi-transparent fence that ensures privacy without creating a sense of enclosure. The house is organically integrated into the terrain, using the height differences to create an interesting architectural solution.

In your own project, techniques such as combining contrasting materials (wood/stone/glass), using cantilevered extensions to create facade dynamics, and incorporating large-format glazing can significantly enrich the architectural appearance of the house. The vertical wooden cladding is also worth noting - this technique gives the building a contemporary look while connecting it to its natural surroundings.
