Two-level house with contrasting facade: wood and metal in modern architecture

#8058. Two-level house with contrasting facade: wood and metal in modern architecture

This is a modern two-story house with a minimalist design that harmoniously blends into the natural landscape. The facade showcases an interesting combination of materials: the upper volume is completely clad in horizontal wooden panels of a warm hue, giving it naturalness and a connection to the surrounding environment. The lower level contrasts with metallic gray cladding, also laid horizontally, creating a clear separation of volumes and functional zones.

The architectural composition is built on the interplay of simple geometric forms — two rectangular volumes with flat roofs are positioned perpendicular to each other, forming a dynamic and contemporary silhouette. The facade is made especially expressive by the panoramic glazing on the ground floor, which almost completely opens the interior of the living area toward the pool and green space, blurring the boundary between internal and external space.

The upper wooden volume features laconic window openings which, despite their minimalism, provide sufficient natural lighting. The contrast of wood and metal textures, warm and cool tones creates visual interest and emphasizes the modern aesthetics of the building.

As techniques for designing your own facade, you might note the combination of natural and modern materials, the use of horizontal cladding to visually expand the space, and the bold combination of different textures to create architectural expressiveness. The panoramic glazing and wooden deck around the pool are also elements that can be adapted to create a connection between the house and the surrounding landscape.
