#8045. Contemporary Dual Facade: Industrial Aesthetics and Panoramic Glazing

The image showcases a contemporary private residence with distinct industrial character. The facade features a minimalist design combining several materials: dark gray metal cladding on the main volume creates a striking contrast with warm wooden panels on the protruding block. This interplay of textures and hues creates visual interest and emphasizes the architectural articulation of the building.

The facade geometry is based on a combination of clean rectangular volumes of varying heights and depths. The upper floor partially overhangs the first, creating a sheltered terrace space. Particularly noteworthy is the glass railing on the second-floor balcony, which provides safety without compromising the visual lightness of the structure.

Window openings are designed as large panoramic windows and sliding doors, maximizing the connection between interior and garden while ensuring excellent natural lighting. The architect skillfully employed the technique of "blurring boundaries" between indoor and outdoor spaces, especially evident in the lower part of the house, where the living room smoothly transitions to an open deck.

For your own home design, consider adopting techniques such as: combining different finishing materials to create visual interest; utilizing projecting volumes to form protected outdoor spaces; implementing large glazed surfaces to connect with the surrounding landscape; and thoughtful zoning of the adjacent territory with landscape design integrated into the architectural concept.
