#13420. Black Timber Facade: Modern Forest Hillside House

This modern minimalist house, embedded into a wooded hillside, represents an expressive example of architecture where the natural surroundings and strict geometric forms create a harmonious dialogue. The building's facade, clad in black charred wood, demonstrates an elegant application of vertical board siding technique, giving the structure both a contemporary and organic appearance that perfectly integrates with the forest landscape.

Compositionally, the building is designed as offset volumes creating a dynamic silhouette that emphasizes the terrain's relief. Large panoramic windows and minimalist balconies with transparent railings create contrast with the dark facade while simultaneously ensuring visual connection between the interior and surrounding nature. The upper level with its protruding volume and laconic glazing is particularly expressive, appearing to float above the main structure.

When designing a facade of this type, key aspects include selecting materials resistant to forest climate conditions, correctly calculating window opening proportions for maximum utilization of natural light, and skillfully integrating the building into the landscape. The concrete base, partially embedded into the slope, provides a solid foundation and creates an interesting contrast with the wooden cladding of the upper levels.
