This modern house is a magnificent example of minimalist architecture, harmoniously combining geometric purity with natural materials. The building facade is built on the contrast between the upper snow-white volume and the lower floor clad in natural stone. This creates a visual lightness of the upper tier, which seems to float above the foundation.
The upper floor is designed in a pure minimalist style — white rectangular forms with horizontal wooden slats that serve not only as a decorative element but also as functional protection from the sun. Large panoramic windows ensure maximum penetration of natural light and create a connection between the interior space and the surrounding environment.
The lower floor with stonework made from local material creates a sense of solidity and connection to the earth. Sliding glass doors on the first level completely open the living space to the terrace and swimming pool, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The pergola with white horizontal slats forms a semi-shaded recreation area, creating a play of light and shadow on the terrace.
When designing your own facade design, you can use a similar technique of contrasting textures and materials — combining smooth light surfaces with textured stonework adds depth and character to the building. Horizontal slats are also an excellent solution for regulating sunlight and creating privacy without losing the visual lightness of the structure.
