Before us stands a striking example of contemporary mountain architecture, where the dynamic facade design creates a dramatic dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The structure features bold angular lines and an asymmetrical roof that seems to float above the main volume of the building, forming a sheltered terrace. The facade employs expressive materials: Corten steel, giving the building its characteristic rusty-red hue, and extensive glazing, creating a contrast between opaque and transparent surfaces.
Particularly noteworthy is the play with cantilevered projections and overhanging elements that emphasize the horizontal aspect of the building and create a sense of lightness despite the massiveness of the structure. The warm wooden decking of the terrace and interior finishes bring organic quality and warmth, softening the industrial austerity of the metal facade. The architect masterfully utilizes natural lighting – at dusk, the interior illumination transforms the house into a glowing beacon, while the large glass surfaces maximize the opening of internal spaces to the impressive mountain landscape views.
Several techniques applicable to private construction can be highlighted in this design: contrasting combination of materials (metal/wood/glass), use of cantilever structures to create protected open spaces, thoughtful zoning of the territory through height differences, and integration of architecture into the landscape. It's also worth noting how skillfully the architect addressed the challenge of hillside placement, using the elevation change to create a multi-level structure.
