#15602. Modern facade with contrasting combination of stone, wood, and glass

Before us is an expressive example of modern architecture in a minimalist luxury style – a two-story house with an open layout and an impressive combination of materials. The building facade presents a harmonious composition of natural stone, wood, and glass, creating a simultaneously contrasting and balanced image.

The stone cladding on the left side of the facade gives the structure solidity and textural depth, while the wooden panels bring warmth and organic quality. The extensive glazing of the second floor is the true dominant element of the composition, allowing the boundary between internal and external space to be blurred. The horizontal lines of the concrete slabs create a clear rhythm and emphasize the contemporary aesthetics of the building.

Special attention should be paid to the thoughtful facade lighting: recessed lights under the cornices and along the walls not only serve a functional role but also accentuate architectural elements, creating a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the evening hours. The warm tones of the illumination harmonize with the wooden panels and enhance the impression of comfort.

The architectural solution demonstrates several techniques that can be adapted for one's own home: combining contrasting materials (stone/wood/glass), using horizontal lines for visual expansion of space, a well-thought-out facade lighting system, and integrating the building into the landscape through appropriate greenery. An important design element is also the use of projecting structures that create a play of volumes and provide natural protection from the sun.
