#18815. Modular black facade with protruding glass bay windows

This contemporary architectural object exemplifies modular facade design with contrasting materials. The building is clad in dark vertical panels creating a strict, monolithic background against which protruding glass bay windows stand out dramatically. These structural elements, appearing to float in the air, give the building a dynamic, unconventional appearance and break up the typical flatness of the facade.

The architect masterfully plays with space, creating an intriguing composition of rectangular modules offset from one another. Large panoramic windows not only provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces but also create a visual connection between interior and exterior. Such facade design forms a unique identity for the building, making it a notable architectural accent in the urban environment.

The minimalist color palette—black facade and transparent glass—emphasizes the modern character of the project. At the same time, the geometric complexity and play with volumes add expressiveness to the building without using decorative elements. The ground floor features panoramic storefronts, likely for public or commercial spaces, making the building functionally diverse.

Similar techniques in facade design can be adapted for private housing. Contrasting combinations of materials, protruding volumes, and playing with window geometry can all give individuality to even a small residential house, creating an atmosphere that is both modern and cozy.
