#17043. Modern three-story house with contrasting stone and white plaster facade

Before us is a striking example of modern residential architecture, demonstrating a masterful combination of various materials and textures. The three-story house, numbered 19, presents an elegant composition of geometric volumes, where the facade design is built on the contrast of textures: natural gray stone masonry, white plaster, dark glass in aluminum frames, and wooden inserts.

The building's facade features expressive asymmetry. The left section is clad in natural stone, creating a textural accent, while the right section is executed in minimalist white. The panoramic glazing on the second and third floors provides abundant natural light to the interior spaces and visually lightens the massiveness of the structure.

Particularly noteworthy are the open terraces with glass railings on the second and third levels, which expand the living space and create a smooth transition between interior and exterior. The lower level is designed as a semi-open space with a canopy on metal supports, adding lightness to the building's foundation.

A well-thought-out exterior lighting system with wall-mounted fixtures emphasizes the architectural features of the house in the evening and creates a cozy atmosphere. The surrounding landscaping with local plants harmoniously integrates the modern structure into the natural landscape.

When designing your own home facade, you can adopt several techniques from this project: contrasting combinations of different materials (stone, plaster, wood, glass), the use of panoramic glazing to improve insolation, the creation of terraces and balconies to expand living space, and a well-designed facade lighting system that highlights key architectural elements.
