Brutalist Cantilevered Facade: Contemporary House with Contrasting Concrete and Brick Finish

#16865. Brutalist Cantilevered Facade: Contemporary House with Contrasting Concrete and Brick Finish

This modern residential building represents a magnificent example of brutalist architecture with minimalist elements. The facade features a contrasting combination of materials: the upper part is clad in dark gray concrete with characteristic formwork texture, while the lower level is finished with lighter brickwork, creating an interesting interplay of textures and volumes.

Particularly notable are the geometric perforations in the concrete portion of the facade, which not only serve as decorative elements but also allow natural light to penetrate the interior spaces. Large panoramic windows in black frames create a striking contrast with the gray concrete surface and provide abundant natural illumination to the interior spaces.

The cantilevered projecting elements of the second floor add dynamism to the overall composition and form a covered terrace on the first level. Metal railings on the flat roof complement the overall industrial style of the building. When designing a facade for a private house, such cantilever techniques can visually expand the space of the upper floors without increasing the building footprint.

The landscaping harmoniously complements the architectural appearance: a minimalist pool along the facade, tropical vegetation, and greenery soften the overall strictness of the composition. Lighting integrated into the lower part of the cantilevers emphasizes the architectural elements in the evening and creates an additional visual effect of the upper volume appearing to float.
