Before us is an expressive example of modern forest house architecture with a minimalist facade, organically integrated into its natural surroundings. The architect skillfully positioned the building among existing trees, preserving the integrity of the forest landscape and emphasizing an ecological approach.
The facade presents a harmonious combination of concrete surfaces and extensive glazing, framed by warm brown elements, likely made of Corten steel or tinted wood. The asymmetrical composition of the building with multi-level volumes creates a dynamic image, where cantilevered projections seem to float above the forest floor. Particularly noteworthy is the solution with large panoramic windows, which not only provide abundant natural light but also create an effect of blurring the boundary between the interior space and the surrounding forest.
The facade architecture demonstrates the principle of material honesty – concrete remains concrete, glass performs not only a utilitarian function but also an aesthetic one. The chimney with its metal pipe becomes an expressive vertical accent in the predominantly horizontal composition. The laconic external staircase emphasizes the level organization of the house and its structural logic.
In your own facade project, you could borrow techniques such as: integrating the building into the landscape without significantly disturbing the existing terrain and vegetation; using contrast between heavy (concrete) and light (glass) materials; applying projecting elements to create a play of volumes and shadows; organizing panoramic glazing to visually expand the interior space and connect with the surrounding environment.
