The image captures an elegant terrace of a modern house with distinctly contrasting architectural volumes. Of particular interest is the façade design – minimalist yet expressive. The dark volume with a textured surface (presumably clad in natural stone or composite panels) creates a dramatic contrast with the brilliantly white part of the building.
The architectural composition demonstrates a classic interplay of volumes and voids. Niches in the dark façade are used for greenery and decorative elements, softening the strictness of geometric forms. The white façade is characterized by large glazed areas, creating an effect of transparency and lightness, visually opposing the monolithic dark volume.
The relaxation area is designed in a Mediterranean style with a semi-circular wooden sofa and a central fire pit, complementing the overall concept of open space. Palm trees in the background emphasize the resort atmosphere and indicate a warm climate.
Such techniques of contrasting façade design can be adapted for private construction – combining dark and light surfaces, playing with niches and textures, using large glazed surfaces to create visual lightness. Particularly effective is the combination of rough textured materials with smooth surfaces.
