#18501. Modern facade with contrasting materials: wood, glass and stone on a stepped terrain

This modern residential house is an excellent example of a harmonious combination of natural materials and minimalist geometry. The facade demonstrates a thoughtful architectural element design, where the combination of textures and materials is particularly noteworthy: warm wood, cool glass, and stone masonry at the base. The overhanging flat roof with wooden cladding creates a visual contrast with the vertical gray panels and large panoramic windows.

The stepped composition of the house volumes deserves special attention, as the structure is positioned on a slope and supported by a massive retaining wall made of natural stone. This solution is not only functional in terms of landscape integration but also creates an interesting play of horizontal lines. The open terrace with glass railings provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape, enhancing the connection between architecture and the natural environment.

When designing your own facade, several techniques from this project can be adopted: using contrasting materials to create visual interest, integrating the building into the site's topography, applying large glass areas to connect with the surroundings, and utilizing projecting elements (cantilevers) to create dynamics and protection from the sun.
