This is an impressive example of contemporary urban architecture, where a narrow façade of a multi-level building has been transformed into a dramatic architectural statement. The structure stands out with its monolithic black exterior finish, creating a stark contrast with neighboring traditional houses. The architect has chosen a minimalist approach where geometry and materials play the leading role.
The façade is characterized by an abundance of glass – large panoramic windows occupy a significant portion of the building's front, creating an effect of transparency and allowing the interior lighting to manifest outward in the evening. Particularly interesting is the solution with protruding volumes of glass sections of varying depths, which gives the façade dynamism and complexity despite its overall laconic design.
The verticality of the building is emphasized by the proportions and placement of windows, while the curved element of the roof adds plasticity to the volume. The garage door at the bottom is organically integrated into the overall design through the use of the same color palette and material. Minimalist details, such as the chimney and the absence of decorative elements, enhance the modern character of the building.
In your own project, a similar approach can be applied by using contrasting materials to highlight architectural volume, working with different depths of façade planes, and emphasizing large glazed surfaces. It's also important to consider night lighting which, as seen in this example, significantly enhances the expressiveness of the façade and accentuates its architectural features.
