This architectural project is a magnificent example of contrasting historical and contemporary elements. The old stone house with traditional natural stone masonry has been enhanced with a modern addition in the form of a minimalist window opening with concrete framing. This technique creates a striking accent on the facade and demonstrates how facade design can connect different epochs.
Particularly impressive is the scale of the new window opening – large-scale glazing in a strict concrete frame serves as a portal between the historical exterior and contemporary interior. The interior space behind the glass reveals wooden structures, creating an additional contrast of materials and textures. The left part of the facade preserves authentic wooden shutters and small window openings characteristic of traditional architecture.
This approach to renovating historical buildings makes it possible to preserve cultural heritage while simultaneously adapting the building to modern requirements for comfort and aesthetics. When designing your own facade, you can use a similar technique – combining authentic materials with modern architectural elements, creating contrasting inserts and accents against a neutral background.
