This modern residential structure exemplifies minimalist architecture with an emphasis on expressive concrete facades. The building is formed by clear geometric shapes: rectangular volumes of different heights create a dynamic composition that nevertheless remains balanced and harmonious.
Particularly noteworthy is the main facade design, where the architect employed a perforated concrete wall with multiple rectangular openings of varying sizes. In the evening, when interior lighting is activated, these openings transform into luminous elements, creating the effect of a "light pattern" or a kind of pixel graphics on the facade. This technique not only serves as a strong aesthetic solution but also provides natural ventilation and light penetration into the interior.
The contrast between smooth concrete surfaces and textured walls adds tactility and depth to the facade. The horizontal canopy over the entrance area provides protection from sun and precipitation while simultaneously functioning as an important structural element of the composition. The minimalist color palette of the facade – shades of gray and beige – allows the architecture to blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape with mountain views.
For those considering similar solutions for their homes, perforated facades represent an interesting alternative to traditional windows. They provide privacy while maintaining natural lighting, create unique lighting effects, and can be adapted to various climatic conditions. Additionally, concrete as a facade material offers durability, environmental friendliness, and relatively low maintenance costs.
