The image showcases an excellent example of contemporary urban facade design, where the contrast of materials creates a unique architectural appearance. The main element is the vertical dark wooden cladding, which gives the building a strict yet elegant look. Large window openings of various formats and sizes not only provide natural lighting but also form a rhythmic composition against the dark background.
Particularly interesting is the combination of the modern minimalist volume with the historical surroundings — next to it stands a traditional brick house with a mansard roof. This contrasting neighborhood emphasizes the innovative character of the project. The entrance area is highlighted with warm wooden accents, which softens the overall strictness of the design. The terraced landscape design in front of the house with concrete retaining walls creates a smooth transition to the street and complements the architectural concept.
When creating your own facade, you can adopt several techniques from this project: playing with vertical cladding to visually elongate the building, thoughtful placement of windows of different sizes to create dynamics, using contrasting materials (here — dark wood and light elements), as well as integrating the entrance area into the overall facade composition through differentiating materials.
