#18869. Modern House with Intricate Perforated Facade

This modern architectural project showcases an elegant application of intricate metal panels creating a striking screened facade. The upper level of the building is completely wrapped in a perforated white shell featuring a geometric Islamic pattern that gradually changes in density—more concentrated at the top and bottom, and more transparent in the central section.

The contrast between the massive cubic volume of the upper tier and the open lower space creates a visual lightness to the structure. The ground floor with its wooden deck opens to the courtyard, providing a seamless transition between exterior and interior spaces. Glass sliding doors extend the living area, allowing natural light to penetrate inside.

The metal perforated facade serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a sunscreen, provides privacy, creates an interesting play of light and shadow inside the rooms, while maintaining ventilation. This solution is particularly relevant for hot climates.

For private construction, similar techniques can be adapted as smaller-scale decorative screens, perforated panels for porches or balconies, or even as elements of landscape design. Modern technologies allow the use of not only metal but also composite materials, wood, or fiber cement with perforation, making such facade solutions more accessible for individual residential construction.
