This modern country house represents an excellent example of an organic combination of traditional materials and contemporary architectural solutions. The facade is skillfully clad with natural stone, which gives the structure solidity and connects it with the surrounding mountainous landscape. The stonework is executed in an irregular technique, using stones of various sizes and shades, creating a lively, dynamic texture.
The architect masterfully combines stone cladding with wooden elements and white concrete surfaces, creating a multi-layered facade composition. The upper level of the building deserves special attention with its wooden panels and protruding canopy, which visually lightens the massive stone base. Window openings with wooden framing are harmoniously integrated into the stonework, providing natural lighting to the interior spaces.
The stepped layout of the site emphasizes the adaptation of the house to the terrain, while the cantilevered balcony of the upper floor with minimalist glass railing creates a sense of hovering above the slope. This thoughtful facade architecture demonstrates how to effectively use the natural slope of the site to create an expressive building appearance.
When designing your own house on a slope, you can adopt several techniques from this project: combining contrasting materials (stone, wood, concrete, glass), multi-level composition corresponding to the terrain, and using cantilever extensions to create a dynamic silhouette. It's also important to pay attention to landscaping, which softens the strict geometry of the building and helps integrate the architecture into its natural context.
