Dynamic Vertical Facade: Contemporary House with Wooden Battens

#7916. Dynamic Vertical Facade: Contemporary House with Wooden Battens

The photograph captures a two-story house in the process of construction or renovation, highlighting a facade system executed in contemporary style. Of particular interest is the vertical lattice of wooden battens installed over a dark waterproofing or insulation layer. This construction creates a rhythmic visual effect through the alternation of light wooden elements and dark intervals between them.

The facade features expressive geometry with varying levels and volumes. The upper floor takes the form of a rectangular volume with a flat roof, while the lower part is complemented by a sloped roof with metal covering, creating an interesting contrast of forms. The window openings display a modern minimalist design with clean lines.

The structure exhibits a transitional state between finishing stages – on the right, a section of wall with a different type of material is visible, possibly a temporary structure or an area with an alternative architectural solution. The use of a concrete plinth as the foundation of the structure is noteworthy, creating a clear division between the ground and the wooden facade.

The texture and rhythm of the vertical wooden elements give the building a sense of warmth and naturalness, despite the modern geometry of its forms. This approach to facade systems is characteristic of contemporary ecological architecture, where natural materials are combined with current building technologies.
