#18657. Modern two-level facade with contrasting combination of black upper volume and brick base

The presented house demonstrates a striking example of contemporary facade design, where the contrasting combination of materials creates a memorable architectural image. The upper part of the building is finished in a dark, almost black color with a sharp triangular roof, which gives the structure dynamism and expressiveness. This volume visually dominates over the brick section of the first floor, creating an interesting compositional dialogue between forms and textures.

The use of red brick in the lower part and for the site fencing provides a visual connection with the surrounding development, predominantly brick, which helps the house to organically fit into the context of the neighborhood, despite its modern form. Large windows with minimal frames on the upper floor contrast with the more traditional openings of the brick section, emphasizing the duality of the architectural solution – a balance between tradition and innovation.

The entrance area is accentuated by a wooden door in a warm shade, which becomes an important element of the facade composition and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The landscaping solution is minimalist, with small green plantings that do not overload the overall composition but soften the strictness of architectural forms.

This approach to facade design can be successfully applied when renovating existing houses or building new objects in a historically established environment, when it is important to find a balance between modern and traditional elements. The use of contrasting materials, playing with the geometry of volumes, and a thoughtful combination of textures help create a unique architectural appearance while maintaining a connection with the surrounding context.
