This impressive building facade demonstrates a modern interpretation of terracotta architecture. The dominant orange-red cladding creates a striking visual accent against the neutral sky. The architectural composition is characterized by a distinct vertical rhythm, formed by horizontal louvers that create a screening system for the glass surfaces.
The central part of the facade features a deep recess filled with a system of horizontal elements that serve not only a decorative purpose but also function as sun-shading screens. These louvers create an interesting play of light and shadow, adding dynamics and depth to the facade. Some sections remain open, forming loggias with elements of greenery, which brings a living contrast to the geometric strictness of the overall composition.
The plane of the main part of the facade is finished with modular cladding with a clear grid of joints, emphasizing the technological nature and modernity of the building. Such facade design demonstrates a balance between aesthetics and functionality — the sun protection elements not only form the visual appearance of the building but also increase its energy efficiency.
For individual construction, a similar approach can be adapted by using large-scale horizontal elements on a veranda or in the entrance area. The combination of bright terracotta panels with wooden louvers will create a modern and eco-friendly appearance for a private home, while using a similar screening system will help regulate the amount of sunlight entering the rooms.
