This impressive residential building represents a masterful combination of modern architecture with elements of historical context. The facade is executed using a technique of contrasting materials: Corten steel with its characteristic warm rusty-brown patina juxtaposed with extensive glass surfaces, creating a dynamic visual dialogue between opacity and transparency.
Particularly noteworthy is the perforated pattern on the metal facade panels, which not only serves as a decorative element but also creates an interplay of light and shadow on the building's surface throughout the day. The roof geometry with its sharp angles references traditional forms, yet is interpreted in a contemporary manner, creating an interesting architectural dialogue.
The glass transition between the volumes of the building visually lightens the massive structure and introduces an element of transparency into the overall composition. The brick wall along the perimeter of the site organically connects the modern structure with the surrounding development, represented by traditional stone architecture. The greenery above the wall adds a natural element to the urban context.
In the context of designing one's own facade, this project demonstrates effective techniques: the use of contrasting materials to create visual interest; the application of perforation for both aesthetic and functional purposes; the combination of modern materials with traditional ones (glass and metal with stone and brick); playing with the geometry of forms while maintaining the integrity of the architectural statement.
