This beautiful country house is an excellent example of a modern interpretation of rustic architecture. The facade is clad with cedar shingles in a warm honey tone, creating a natural, organic blend with the surrounding landscape. Contrasting dark green trim elements – window frames, cornices, and roof soffits – give the structure expressiveness and highlight its architectural framework.
The asymmetrical composition of the facade with its gabled roof, distinctive pediment, and stone foundation references Alpine chalet traditions but with clear North American influences. Particularly noteworthy is the small second-floor balcony, which adds volume to the main facade and creates an interesting play of light and shadow.
The left wing of the house features a more low-slung form with a gentle roof slope and a cozy terrace supported by stone columns. The architect skillfully combined various natural materials – wood and stone – creating a rich textural palette. The stonework at the foundation and support elements adds a sense of solidity and connection to the earth.
A gentle winding brick pathway leads to the front door, framed by a simple yet elegant portal. The placement of the house takes into account the features of the site – there are hints of a nearby body of water, which enhances the aesthetic value and organic nature of the architectural solution. Moderate landscaping complements the overall picture without overwhelming the perception of the building itself.
