Before us is a modern residential house that demonstrates an elegant contrast of materials and forms. The facade is resolved in two primary textures: light natural stone (limestone or sandstone) and dark gray vertical metal panels. This combination creates an expressive dialogue between traditional and contemporary, heavy and light.
The architectural composition of the house is built on playing with a gabled roof — a traditional form that receives a contemporary interpretation here through clean lines and a minimalist approach. Particularly interesting is the solution for the gable, completely clad in dark metal panels, which gives it a graphic quality and expressiveness.
The window openings have strict rectangular shapes with dark frames, which enhances the contrast with the light stone masonry. The entrance is accentuated by a wooden canopy and glass doors with the address inscription "SIX THIRTY SIX." The minimalist approach to details emphasizes the quality of materials and the cleanliness of architectural lines.
In designing your own home facade, several techniques shown here could be adopted: contrasting combination of materials with different textures and colors; use of vertical articulation to visually increase height; modern interpretation of traditional architectural forms; minimalism in details and accentuation of the entrance group using materials and lighting.
