This architectural structure is an excellent example of modern minimalist design with an expressive wooden slat facade creating a rhythmic vertical pattern on the upper level of the building. The contrast between the warm wooden framing of the upper floor and the austere concrete base of the first level creates an interesting compositional dynamic.
The wooden slats serve not only a decorative function but also act as a sun protection element, creating a play of light and shadow on the facade and inside the spaces. Large panoramic windows on the upper floor provide abundant natural lighting and visual connection with the surrounding environment, while the vertical wooden elements ensure privacy.
The lower level of the building is made of monolithic concrete with clean lines and minimal decoration, emphasizing its functionality. Particularly interesting is the architectural solution with the elevated upper volume, creating a covered space and providing a smooth transition between exterior and interior. The staircase leading to the second level harmoniously fits into the overall composition.
When designing your own facade, you can apply a similar approach with combined materials — for example, the combination of wood and concrete or stone creates an interesting visual contrast. Vertical slats can be an excellent solution for a private home, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional advantages: regulation of natural lighting, protection from overheating, and creation of visual barriers without blocking the view.
