This modern residential building exemplifies minimalist architecture with a meticulously designed facade design where the contrast of materials creates an expressive visual language. The main facade is characterized by clean geometric lines and a pronounced horizontality of white volumes that appear to float above the stone foundation.
The elegant combination of materials deserves special attention: the immaculate white plastered surfaces of the upper floor contrast with the textural stone masonry of the lower level. This classic technique gives the building a sense of solidity at the bottom and lightness at the top. The horizontal louvers on the projecting balcony not only serve the functional role of sun protection but also create an interesting play of light and shadow on the facade.
The project masterfully addresses the interaction between interior and exterior spaces through large panoramic windows. The minimalist window frames don't overload the facade, allowing the architecture to speak in a language of pure forms. The projecting volume of the upper floor creates a sheltered terrace with a dining area, establishing a seamless transition between the house and garden.
When designing your own facade, several techniques from this project can be adopted: the contrasting combination of materials (in this case, stone and white plaster), the use of horizontal sun-shading elements that add depth and texture to the facade, and the creation of projecting volumes to form an interesting building silhouette and functional outdoor spaces.
