#17205. Modern Facade with Cantilevered Elements: Interplay of Materials and Light

This architectural object is a magnificent example of modern design with a pronounced multi-level composition. The facade demonstrates a masterful combination of various materials – dark stone in the lower section, concrete and wooden panels in the upper levels. Particularly noteworthy are the cantilevered projecting elements of the second floor with wooden ceiling finishing, creating a dynamic silhouette and interplay of volumes.

The architects skillfully work with light: numerous recessed fixtures under the projecting elements not only fulfill a functional role but also create expressive illumination in the evening, highlighting the texture of materials and the geometry of the facade. The lower level with its black stone facade contrasts with the lighter upper volumes, visually lightening the structure.

The project shows careful attention to detail in the facade design – from the selection of textures and proportions to the placement of window openings. The panoramic glazing of the lower level creates a connection with the surrounding landscape, while vertical wooden slats on part of the facade add rhythm and textural variety.

When creating your own home, you could adopt techniques such as contrasting material combinations, using cantilevered projections to create dynamism, a well-thought-out architectural lighting system, and integrating the building into the landscape through perimeter greenery. Each of these elements can significantly enrich the architectural solution even with a relatively simple main building form.
