#18227. Contemporary house with horizontal metal facade in forest surroundings

The image showcases an impressive contemporary residential building that harmoniously combines various materials and textures. The facade features dark gray horizontal metal cladding, creating an expressive rhythmic texture. This facade design approach is not only aesthetically appealing but also functional, providing additional protection against atmospheric elements.

A special accent in the architectural composition comes from large windows with wooden frames that effectively contrast with the metal facade. These openings of various shapes and sizes not only provide natural lighting to the interior spaces but also serve as compositional elements breaking the monotony of the surface. The vertical metal chimney pipe becomes an additional accent, emphasizing the vertical lines in the composition.

Warm wooden panels are used at the entrance of the building, creating a welcoming atmosphere and softening the industrial character of the metal profile. Concrete retaining walls and stairs provide a smooth transition from the building to the surrounding landscape, while thoughtful landscaping with multi-level plantings naturally integrates the structure into the natural environment of tall coniferous trees.

When designing your own house, a similar approach of combining different materials—metal cladding, wood, and concrete—can create an expressive contemporary image with individual character. Horizontal profiling of the facade visually widens the building, while strategically placed windows of different sizes not only provide optimal lighting but also become important elements of the architectural composition.
