Green Facade: Two-Story House Completely Covered with Ivy, Featuring Wooden Windows and Red Base

#14289. Green Facade: Two-Story House Completely Covered with Ivy, Featuring Wooden Windows and Red Base

This is a magnificent example of biophilic facade design, where nature becomes the main element of architectural composition. The building, completely covered with green ivy, demonstrates an organic fusion of architecture and natural environment. Wooden window frames in a warm reddish-brown shade create a striking contrast with the abundant greenery, emphasizing the structure of the facade.

Particular attention is drawn to the well-thought-out composition: a two-story building with a balcony whose parapet is also immersed in vertical landscaping. Architectural rhythm is created by repeating window openings with characteristic fine mullions, giving the facade classical proportions despite its unconventional "green" covering.

The base of the building is painted in a rich red color, forming an expressive foundation for the composition and creating a visual support for the upper part "floating" in greenery. A small wooden fence, painted in the same red tone, frames the front garden with low-growing plants, completing the thoughtful design of the entrance group.

This architectural technique of a "living facade" can be applied in private housing as well, using special structures for vertical landscaping. It's important to select plants adapted to the local climate and provide reliable waterproofing for the walls to avoid moisture problems. This approach not only creates a visually attractive exterior but also provides additional thermal insulation, improves air quality, and integrates the structure into the surrounding landscape.
