Before us stands an excellent example of modern minimalist architecture, where a white cubic volume serves as the foundation for an expressive facade design built on the contrast of materials and textures. The main facade presents a clear geometric composition where large glazed surfaces harmoniously combine with white plastered surfaces and warm wooden inserts beneath the ceiling.
Particularly noteworthy is the use of contrasting materials: white stucco creates a clean, austere image, while wooden elements bring warmth and organic quality. The first floor is maximally open to the external space thanks to panoramic glazing, which visually erases the boundary between interior and exterior. The light concrete projection of the second floor forms a balcony while simultaneously creating shade for the lower terrace.
The facade demonstrates masterful use of horizontal lines that emphasize the contemporary aesthetics of the building. The minimalist metal balustrade on the second floor doesn't overload the composition, maintaining a sense of lightness. The skylight above the left portion of the first floor adds an additional architectural accent and provides natural illumination to the interior spaces.
In designing one's own home facade, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting combination of materials (stucco, wood, glass), use of horizontal projections to create shaded areas, integration of open terraces with panoramic glazing, as well as balanced distribution of solid and transparent surfaces to achieve optimal levels of privacy and natural lighting.
