The building presented before us is a magnificent example of modern minimalist architecture where form follows function. The snow-white facade with clean geometric lines is executed in Scandinavian style, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding landscape and dramatic blue sky.
The architectural composition of the house is built around a classic gable roof, however, the execution is absolutely contemporary. The facade is devoid of excessive decorative elements, which emphasizes the purity of form. Special attention should be paid to the thoughtful arrangement of window openings: a horizontal panoramic window on the upper floor and large sliding glass doors on the lower level that connect the interior space with the terrace.
The vertical narrow window opening on the side wall adds dynamics to the building and serves as a source of natural lighting for the stairwell. The lower level of the facade is clad with vertical panels, creating a textural contrast with the smooth surface of the main volume of the building.
When designing a facade for your own home, you can adopt techniques such as playing with contrasting textures (smooth and ribbed surfaces), minimalist window framing without casings, and the skillful use of different types of windows depending on the functional purpose of the rooms.
The landscape organization deserves special mention: a multi-level yard with grassy plants creates a natural transition from architecture to nature, softening the strict geometry of the building.
