Before us stands an impressive country house that embodies the principles of modern mountain architecture with elements of a traditional chalet. The facade of the building presents a harmonious combination of natural materials – wood and stone, which emphasizes its organic connection with the surrounding landscape.
Particular attention is drawn to the expressive roof structure with several high gable fronts covered with dark roofing, which creates a dramatic contrast with the lighter wall cladding. The glass gables beneath the roof slopes are a striking architectural technique that not only provides abundant natural light to the interior spaces but also creates an effect of lightness for the massive roof structure.
The facade is distinguished by a rhythmic arrangement of vertical wooden elements that create an interesting play of light and shadow. Extensive glazing on all levels of the house maximizes the interaction between the interior space and the surrounding nature. Especially notable is the spacious second-level terrace with wooden railings and glass barriers, which serves as a natural extension of the living space.
The ground floor, faced with natural stone, provides a visually solid foundation for the lighter wooden construction of the upper floors. This technique of zoning the facade by materials gives the building visual stability and emphasizes its connection to the earth.
For your own project, you can borrow several techniques: combining various natural materials in the facade finish; using large windows for natural lighting and creating a visual connection with the environment; creating functional open spaces (terraces) as an extension of interior rooms; applying vertical elements to create rhythm and dynamics on the facade; and, finally, organizing multi-level landscape design that harmoniously integrates the building into the surrounding environment.
