Modern Minimalist Mansion with Dynamic Facade and Cantilevered Extension

#18045. Modern Minimalist Mansion with Dynamic Facade and Cantilevered Extension

This modern mansion exemplifies minimalist architecture where geometric forms play a key role in shaping its aesthetic. The façade is characterized by clean lines and a contrasting combination of materials: light stucco on the main volume elegantly contrasts with wooden inserts on the upper level and extensive glazing. Particularly noteworthy is the dynamic cantilevered second floor, creating the impression of a floating structure and forming a sheltered terrace on the first level.

The architect masterfully employed the technique of "breaking down the mass" of the building – the upper floor features a traditional pitched roof that visually lightens the structure and creates a dialogue with the surrounding development, while the lower volume is executed in a contemporary style with straight lines. The glass railings on terraces and balconies enhance the impression of lightness and transparency without disrupting the purity of the architectural solution.

The integration of the building into the landscape is impressive: the terraced plot with stone backfill, neat plantings, and white steps creates a harmonious transition between architecture and natural surroundings. The pool, located on the lower terrace, acts as an extension of the architectural composition and reinforces the horizontal lines of the facade design.

For those who want to bring similar aesthetics to their own home, it's worth paying attention to techniques such as contrasting material combinations (stucco, wood, glass), using cantilevered extensions to create dynamism, integrating traditional forms (pitched roof) into a modern context, and the thoughtful use of glass railings to maintain the visual lightness of the structure.
