Before us stands an interesting example of a modern house with a unique facade entirely clad in wooden shingles. This two-story house features an unconventional trapezoidal shape, with walls slightly angled outward, creating a dynamic, almost avant-garde silhouette in a quiet suburban setting.
The facade is completely covered with overlapping wooden shingles in warm brown tones with a characteristic texture. The natural aging of the wood gives the surface heterogeneity and depth, ranging from light brown to rich dark brown. This solution is not only aesthetically expressive but also functional—shingle cladding has historically been used for excellent protection against atmospheric exposure.
The facade is minimalist in details: two identical double-hung windows with white frames are asymmetrically placed on the front side of the building, while the central entrance is highlighted by a small canopy and a glass door. The roof is also covered with dark shingles, creating a holistic, monolithic impression of the entire volume.
When designing your own facade with similar materials, several points should be considered: wooden shingles require regular maintenance and treatment with protective compounds; you can play with the size, shape, and arrangement of the shingles to create various textural effects; combining with modern elements (such as windows with aluminum frames) creates an interesting contrast between traditional material and contemporary technology.
