#19617. Modern Minimalist Façade with Cantilevered Second Floor and Contrasting Finishes

This modern residential building exemplifies minimalist architecture with an expressive façade design that combines contrasting materials and geometric forms. The two-story structure features a clean cubic composition with a dramatic cantilevered upper floor, creating a dynamic silhouette and a functional sheltered space below.

The façade employs a restrained color palette: dark gray metal cladding with vertical ribbing on the upper volume contrasts with the white stucco finish of the lower level. The panoramic glazing on the upper floor is particularly striking, occupying the entire front section and providing maximum natural light to the interior spaces. The glass façade reflects the surrounding greenery, visually integrating the house into its natural environment.

The entrance area is finished with contemporary wooden elements interspersed with light-colored inserts, adding warmth to the overall composition. Minimalist wall sconces delicately illuminate the façade in the evening. The wooden fence surrounding the property and abundant greenery create a private atmosphere.

The cantilevered second floor technique can be utilized to create a sheltered parking area, as demonstrated in this example — where three collector cars are displayed. The vertical ribbing on the façade serves as both a decorative element and a practical solution, giving the building texture and visual depth. This approach can be adapted for private homes of various scales, using different cladding materials, from metal to composite panels.
