This modern low-rise house exemplifies a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics in a forest setting. The main façade features a dual-color scheme: dominant gray (graphite) siding contrasts with warm wooden cedar elements, creating an expressive architectural dialogue.
The combined façade treatment deserves special attention: the main portion utilizes horizontal gray siding, while wooden cedar shingles accentuate specific structural elements, particularly the protruding window on the first floor. Wooden elements are also used to frame the roof and create a small canopy above the entrance.
The architectural solution clearly exhibits elements of contemporary Pacific Northwest style with its characteristic sloped roofs, expressive volume geometry, and harmonious interaction with the natural surroundings. The second floor features a characteristic volume shift and narrow horizontal windows that allow natural light while maintaining privacy.
The terrace area with wooden decking and railings organically extends the architectural concept, creating a comfortable transitional space between the house and the surrounding nature. This project demonstrates how the skillful use of contrasting materials and thoughtful architectural accents can create an aesthetically pleasing and functional façade even for a small house.
When designing your own façade, it's worth noting techniques such as combining different materials to create visual interest, using wooden accents to add warmth to contemporary minimalist design, and the thoughtful placement of windows to balance natural lighting and privacy.
