#13273. Minimalist country house with contrasting wooden and plastered facade

This modern country house represents a striking example of minimalist architecture with a contrasting facade solution. The main volume of the building takes the form of a compact two-story rectangular prism with a gabled roof. The facade demonstrates an interesting combination of materials: dark wooden cladding on the right side of the structure creates an expressive contrast with the white plastered surfaces of the left side.

The architectural solution emphasizes the geometric purity of forms, where the vertical dark wooden cladding gives the building an expressive character and visually increases its height. Window openings are organized rationally – large windows on the first floor provide good insolation and visual connection with the surrounding nature, while the second floor is decorated with horizontal louvers that not only serve as a decorative element but also perform the function of sun protection.

The terrace area with wooden decking is also noteworthy, serving as a transitional space between interior and exterior. When designing the facade of your own house, you can adopt this technique of contrasting combination of materials – it allows you to visually break up the monolithic volume and give the building an individual character. It's also worth paying attention to the use of horizontal louvers as a functional and aesthetic element of the facade solution.

The house is surrounded by birch and other deciduous trees, indicating the architects' sensitive approach to the existing natural context. This careful integration of the building into the landscape creates a harmonious atmosphere and emphasizes the eco-friendly approach to designing modern housing.
