previous facadenext facade
This is a modern residential building with a striking contrasting facade that demonstrates an interesting combination of materials. The dominant element is Corten steel (or its imitation) in the upper part of the building, creating a rich rusty-brown shade that effectively contrasts with the wooden cladding of the lower level. This technique of horizontally dividing the facade into different materials creates visual interest and emphasizes the structure of the building.
The architectural composition presents a play of geometric volumes with protruding elements and large panoramic windows. The upper level with its cantilevered extension looks particularly expressive, creating dynamism and enhancing the contemporary character of the structure. The white flat roof appears to float above the main volume, adding lightness to the entire construction.
Windows of various sizes and proportions are asymmetrically arranged, giving the facade rhythm and modern aesthetics. The lower level with wooden finishing is more open thanks to panoramic glazing, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior space.
In designing your own home, you can adopt the technique of contrasting material combinations, use of natural textures (wood, metal), play with volumes and protruding elements. It's also worth paying attention to the balanced ratio of solid surfaces and glazing, which simultaneously provides privacy and visual connection with the surroundings.
