This modern house is a striking example of minimalist architecture with distinct Scandinavian influences. The façade is entirely clad in white vertical metal panels, creating a rhythmic visual effect. The pitched roof with a high ridge returns us to the archetypal house form, but the execution remains emphatically contemporary.
Particularly noteworthy is the thoughtful arrangement of window openings of various sizes, breaking up the monolithic nature of the white façade. The large panoramic window on the main façade creates a visual connection between the interior space and the surrounding environment. A small cantilevered balcony with glass railing serves as an elegant accent, adding depth and expressiveness to the façade.
The architect masterfully employed the principle of contrast between the strict geometry of the building and the surrounding natural landscape. The white color of the façade makes the structure visually light, almost floating, despite its significant volume.
This project demonstrates how, when designing the façade of your own home, you can use techniques such as: vertical articulation of the surface to visually increase height; a monochromatic color scheme to create a cohesive image; strategic placement of window openings for maximum lighting and viewpoints; integration of projecting elements (balconies) to add depth and interest to the overall façade composition.
