#17391. Modern house with contrasting facade of horizontal louvers

This contemporary residential property is an impeccable example of minimalist architecture with an expressive facade design dominated by clean geometric shapes and contrasting materials. The upper volume of the building is clad with dark horizontal louvers that not only form a striking exterior but also serve the practical function of sun protection. These blinds create an interesting interplay of light and shadow while ensuring privacy for the interior spaces.

The lower level of the building features abundant glazing, creating a visual lightness to the structure and maximizing the interaction between the interior space and the surrounding landscape. Particularly expressive are the panoramic windows with minimalist frames, through which one can see the cozy interior space adorned with elements of contemporary art on the walls.

The facade combines concrete, glass, and metal, giving the building an industrial character that is softened by carefully designed landscaping. The stepped pathway of concrete slabs embedded in gravel visually connects the house with the landscape design of the plot, where bright floral accents contrast with the geometric rigor of the architecture.

When designing your own facade, it's worth paying attention to the contrast between closed and open spaces, the use of horizontal elements to visually expand the building, and the thoughtful combination of materials with different textures. Similar blinds on the upper level can become not only a decorative but also a functional element regulating the degree of insolation in the rooms.
