This contemporary residential building showcases an excellent example of minimalist architecture with an emphasis on vertical wooden slats that form an expressive facade. The three-story structure blends harmoniously into the urban context, positioned between traditional white buildings, creating an interesting contrast of materials and textures.
The facade is executed using vertical wooden lamellae, which give the building a rhythmic quality and warmth, softening its geometric austerity. Particularly noteworthy are the large horizontal windows on each level, creating an expressive balance with the vertical direction of the cladding. The panoramic glazing not only ensures an abundance of natural light inside the premises but also creates light breaks in the facade texture.
Functionality is evident in the design of each level: the lower floor with garage doors and entrance area, the middle and upper floors with living spaces highlighted by horizontal window openings. The architect skillfully utilized the site's slope, integrating the building into the hillside with concrete retaining walls and compact landscaping.
This approach to facade design can be successfully applied in modern private housing: using vertical wooden slats creates a play of light and shadow, adds texture and warmth, while the contrasting combination of materials (wood, glass, concrete) forms an expressive contemporary image. Particularly valuable is the absence of superfluous decorative elements — all aesthetics are built on proportions, rhythm, and quality of materials.
