Cantilevered House with Contrasting Brick-Concrete Facade

#12979. Cantilevered House with Contrasting Brick-Concrete Facade

This modern residential house represents an expressive example of contrast architecture, where various materials and forms are combined. The facade demonstrates an interesting dialogue between brickwork and concrete structures, creating a visually complex yet harmonious composition.

The upper part of the house is made of light brick with characteristic texture and color variations, giving the facade warmth and organic quality. The brick volume boldly extends over the concrete base, creating a cantilever effect and visual lightness to the massive structure. Large panoramic windows with thin black frames contrast with the brick surface and provide abundant natural lighting to the interior spaces.

The lower part of the building is made of monolithic concrete with the characteristic formwork texture, creating an interesting textural contrast with the brickwork. The concrete base serves not only as a structural element but also forms an open space under the cantilevered volume, which can be used as a sun-protected area.

Of particular interest is the open concrete staircase with metal railings, which elegantly connects different levels of the building. The wooden ceiling cladding on the terrace adds another natural material to the facade palette, softening the overall impression of the reinforced concrete structures.

Similar techniques in facade design — contrasting combination of materials, cantilevered projections, playing with geometric forms — can be adapted for private home construction of various scales. This approach allows for creating a modern, expressive appearance of the building, emphasizing the individuality of the architectural solution without excessive decorative elements.
