This modern country house features an expressive wooden facade that showcases a play of volumes and textures. The upper floor is designed as a cantilevered volume clad in vertical wooden slats, giving the structure a sense of lightness despite its considerable mass. The architect masterfully combines the warmth of natural wood with the transparency of the glass ground floor, creating an interesting contrast between the "floating" upper volume and the open, transparent base.
Of particular interest are the four protruding window frames in the upper part of the facade, which not only provide natural lighting to the rooms but also become a striking architectural accent. These "cubic" windows break the monotony of the wooden cladding and create a dynamic rhythm on the facade. The minimalist approach to details emphasizes the modern character of the building, which is organically integrated into the natural landscape.
This approach with wooden facade cladding can be adapted for smaller-scale private homes as well. The vertical arrangement of wooden panels visually increases the height of the building, while the contrasting combination of closed and open areas gives expressiveness to the architectural composition. When designing your own home, it's worth paying attention to playing with protruding facade elements and various textures of finishing materials, which will help create an individual and memorable image.
