The photograph showcases a contemporary residential house that vividly expresses the principles of minimalist architecture with a harmonious combination of various materials. The structure is positioned on a hillside, offering a picturesque view of the surrounding landscape.
The facade of the house demonstrates an interesting contrast of textures and colors. The upper volume is executed in two different finishes: one part is clad in dark horizontal panels of graphite shade, while the other features warm wooden lamellae. This contrast creates a visual balance and emphasizes the geometric purity of forms. The lower part of the structure is made of stone masonry, which gives the foundation solidity and visual weight, supporting the "floating" upper volume.
Of particular note is the cantilevered extension of the upper floor, which creates a sense of lightness and dynamism. Thanks to this technique, a sheltered space is formed under the overhanging part, which serves as a covered terrace. Window openings of various sizes are carefully positioned to maximize natural lighting and frame views of the surrounding nature. The vertical window on the dark part of the facade stands out especially, serving as an accent element of the composition.
The house is organically integrated into the natural context, preserving the surrounding vegetation and using the terrain difference as an architectural technique. The woodpile storage under the cantilevered section is not only a functional element but also emphasizes the connection between architecture and the environment.
