The presented building demonstrates an expressive example of contemporary residential architecture with a distinctive contrasting façade solution. The upper volume is clad with horizontal wooden slats in a warm brown tone, creating a sense of lightness and natural texture. This technique is effectively juxtaposed with the lower level, executed in minimalist style with extensive glazing in dark frames and graphite finishing.
The compositional solution of the façade is built on the interplay of volumes: the upper "floating" wooden box with clean geometric lines hovers above the transparent ground floor. The window openings of the second floor are laconic and rhythmically organized, emphasizing the horizontality of the upper volume. The panoramic glazing of the lower level with sliding systems creates the impression of blurring the boundary between interior and exterior, providing a visual connection with the well-maintained garden area.
The project clearly shows the influence of modernist tradition with its principles of "honesty of materials" and functionality. The façade gains particular expressiveness through the contrast of textures and materials: warm wood, cool glass, graphite surfaces, and white structural elements. For one's own home, a similar approach of contrasting natural materials with contemporary ones can be the key to creating a dynamic and elegant façade, especially if horizontal lines of wooden cladding are emphasized and a balance between the privacy of upper rooms and openness of communal areas is ensured.
