#15797. Modern two-story house with contrasting wood and plaster facade

This modern residential house is an excellent example of harmonious combination of various materials and textures on the facade. The composition is built on the contrast between smooth light-gray plastered surfaces and warm wooden cladding, creating a visually interesting and balanced appearance.

The facade is divided into clear geometric volumes, where each element has its own function and visual role. The wooden cladding with horizontal orientation of planks looks particularly expressive, adding warmth and natural texture to the building that contrasts with the minimalist gray surfaces. Large panoramic windows are framed with wooden elements, creating a visual connection between interior and exterior.

On the upper level of the house, wooden pergolas can be noticed, which not only serve as sun protection elements but also add architectural interest by creating a play of light and shadow. The cantilevered projection of the second floor forms a shelter for the entrance area, adding volume and depth to the composition.

The landscape design of the plot perfectly complements the architecture of the house: neat hedges frame the approach path made of brick pavers, while a low wooden fence supports the overall style, echoing the wooden cladding of the facade.

When designing your own facade, you can adopt several techniques from this project: combining contrasting materials (wood and plaster), using horizontal wooden panels to create a warm atmosphere, clearly dividing volumes using different materials, and integrating architectural elements such as pergolas and cantilevered projections to create visual interest and functionality.
