This modern house is a brilliant example of a harmonious blend between historical context and contemporary architectural language. The building's facade demonstrates an expressive contrast of materials: the lower section is made of natural stone, creating a sense of solidity and connection to the earth, while the upper level is clad in light horizontal panels, visually lightening the structure.
Particularly notable is the second floor with its expressive wooden louvers framing the window openings. These vertical elements not only serve as a means of sun protection but also add rhythm and depth to the facade. The triangular roof form with extensive glazing dominates the composition, creating a dynamic silhouette and providing abundant natural light to the interior spaces.
The ground floor is almost entirely glazed on the backyard side, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior. This technique maximizes the visual connection with the well-maintained courtyard paved with light tiles. When designing a facade for your own home, similar use of contrasting materials and textures (stone, wood, glass, metal) can significantly enrich the visual perception of the building.
The skillful play with proportions and materials has allowed the architects to create a compact yet visually interesting volume that harmoniously fits into the surrounding urban development. A particularly successful solution is the use of natural textures and materials, which will acquire an even more authentic and rich character over time.
