next facade
This image showcases an excellent example of a modern interpretation of traditional coastal architecture. The facade is clad in natural-toned wooden shingles (shakes), giving the building a warm, organic appearance that integrates well with the surrounding landscape.
Particularly striking is the expressive combination of materials: natural wooden shingles on the main facade contrast with dark green wooden elements of window frames and trim. The lower portion of the building features light-colored brick masonry, creating a visual "anchor" for the entire composition.
The architectural form is characterized by a classic triangular gable and a two-story structure, where the second floor is abundantly glazed, allowing natural light to fill the interior space. Especially notable is the panoramic glazing on the second floor, designed in a bay window style, which increases the interior space and creates additional viewing points.
The first floor features an open terrace with brick paving, organized as a relaxation space with several rocking chairs in the same dark green shade as the house trim elements. The terrace organically transitions into a landscape with low greenery, further connecting the architecture with its natural surroundings.
When designing your own facade, several techniques from this project could be noteworthy: using natural materials to create an authentic image; contrasting textures (wood, brick, glass); highlighting architectural elements with color; abundant glazing to connect with the surrounding landscape; and creating transitional spaces between house and garden in the form of open terraces.
