This is an impressive example of modern architecture that combines traditional materials with innovative design. The building is a compact two-story volume with a clear division into two visual blocks. The lower part is made of traditional red brick, creating a solid foundation and connection with the surrounding buildings. The upper part is clad with Corten steel (or a material imitating its warm rusty-brown shade), which gives the structure a contemporary industrial character.
The shape of the upper volume is particularly interesting – a classic silhouette of a house with a gabled roof, but reimagined in a modern way. Panoramic windows are integrated into the roof slope, providing natural lighting to the upper level. A small corner window on the second floor creates visual lightness and provides additional illumination.
The entrance is organized on the ground floor through a minimalist opening with dark door frames that harmonize with the window profiles. The concrete porch emphasizes the modern character of the building. Green plantings partially covering the brickwork soften the strictness of forms and integrate the building into the surrounding landscape.
In designing your own house facade, you can adopt this technique of contrasting combination of materials – traditional brick and modern metal. This approach allows you to create a balance between the familiar and the innovative, giving the building individuality. It's also worth paying attention to the possibility of vertical zoning of the facade using different materials, which allows you to visually structure the volume and emphasize the architectural idea.
