#17524. Modern country house with contrasting black and white facade and integrated terrace

This is a modern country house that elegantly combines traditional and contemporary architectural elements. The facade features white horizontal siding, creating a clean, laconic appearance. A distinctive design element is the interesting two-level composition with a main single-story volume and an expressive two-story section on the right, forming an L-shaped configuration.

The contrasting black roof and dark window frames create a graphic quality and emphasize the architectural lines of the building. The panoramic glazing on the ground floor provides an excellent connection between the interior space and the garden, while the expressive wooden deck with minimalist furniture becomes a natural extension of the living space.

In designing the facade, the architect employed a technique of contrasting horizontal and vertical lines, playing with the juxtaposition of single-story and two-story volumes. Special attention was paid to the proportions of window openings – corner windows are used on the second floor, visually lightening the massiveness of the structure.

When designing the facade of your own home, several techniques used here can be adopted: the contrasting combination of light walls and dark accents (roof, windows), thoughtful placement of exterior lighting (wall sconces), balanced asymmetry in the composition, and the organic integration of an open terrace into the overall volume of the building.
