#17491. Minimalist facade with contrasting combination of wood and white plaster

What we see here is a striking example of contemporary minimalist architecture with an expressive contrasting facade. The building presents a compact volume with an asymmetrical gable roof, which adds dynamism and originality to the structure. The main facade design is built on the contrast between the snow-white plastered surface and warm wooden vertical slats that create a rhythmic visual pattern.

Particularly noteworthy is the large panoramic glazing that occupies a significant portion of the front side of the house. The glass surfaces are framed with laconic thin profiles, enhancing the sense of lightness in the structure. The vertical wooden elements not only serve a decorative purpose but also function as solar screens, demonstrating the functionality of the architectural solution.

The lower part of the house is also decorated with vertical wooden panels, forming a kind of podium on which the main volume rises. A staircase with concrete steps and minimalist railings blends organically into the overall composition, enhancing the impression of a structure floating above the landscape.

In your own project, you might borrow techniques such as the contrasting combination of materials (wood+plaster), the use of vertical slats to create texture, thoughtful geometry of volumes, and the integration of large glass surfaces that visually lighten the massiveness of the structure. The surrounding landscaping using ornamental grasses only emphasizes the modern character of the architecture.
