This modern residential house is an excellent example of minimalist architecture with an expressive contrasting facade. The architectural solution is based on a combination of clean geometric forms creating a dynamic composition. The facade utilizes three primary materials: white plaster, gray concrete surfaces, and warm wooden cladding that softens the strictness of concrete and adds an organic quality to the entire structure.
Particularly noteworthy is the play of volumes on the facade – the protruding second floor with a terrace framed by minimalist metal railings creates the impression of a floating structure. The horizontal wooden cladding elements visually balance the vertical surfaces and add rhythm to the composition. The architect skillfully employed the technique of contrast between the smooth plastered walls of the first floor and the textured wooden cladding that emphasizes important architectural elements.
Large windows with slim frames provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces and create a connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Integrated lighting accentuates the architectural lines of the building in the evening. Also worth noting is the functional garage that is organically incorporated into the overall composition of the building.
To create a similar facade in your own project, several techniques can be adopted: contrasting combination of materials (especially wood and concrete/plaster), playing with protruding volumes to create dynamism, using horizontal wooden cladding to visually expand the space, and integrating hidden lighting to highlight architectural features after dark.
