#13518. Brutalist beachfront house with contrasting concrete and wooden slat facade

This structure represents an excellent example of contemporary coastal architecture, where a concrete facade harmoniously combines with elements of wood and glass. The main volume of the building is made of monolithic concrete with clearly defined formwork lines creating a rhythmic pattern on the surface. This technique gives the minimalist facade textural depth and tactility, softening the brutality of the material.

The right part of the structure is finished with horizontal wooden slats, which not only create a visual contrast with the concrete plane but also serve the practical function of shading, regulating the amount of sunlight entering the interior spaces. Such facade design is an excellent example of functional aesthetics, where each element has both decorative and practical purposes.

The first floor is partially glazed, providing a visual connection with the surrounding landscape and sea view. The cantilevered second floor creates dynamic form and protects the lower spaces from direct sunlight. The landscape design with local vegetation harmoniously complements the architectural solution, emphasizing its connection to the coastal context.

Similar techniques in facade design — contrasting combination of materials, playing with textures, geometric projections, and the use of wooden screens — can be adapted for smaller residential buildings, giving them a contemporary character and functionality.
