previous facadenext facade
This specimen of contemporary architecture represents an expressive example of a modernist approach to residential construction. The building facade is resolved through a contrasting combination of two primary materials: white composite panels and warm horizontal wooden cladding. This juxtaposition creates a dynamic interplay of textures and colors, emphasizing the geometric structure of the building.
The volume of the building is formed by clean straight lines and presents a composition of several offset parallelepipeds, creating interesting projections and recesses. Particularly striking is the cantilevered extension of the second floor with wooden cladding, which visually lightens the mass of the building and adds dynamism to the facade. Large window openings, framed with dark frames, contrast with the white surfaces and provide abundant natural lighting to the interior spaces.
The architect skillfully used horizontal wooden cladding not only as a finishing material but also as an element of zoning – we see its application in the property fence and in the design of the porch. This technique creates a holistic impression and connects the house with the surrounding landscape. Minimalist details, the absence of decorative elements, and the purity of lines emphasize the contemporary character of the structure.
When designing your own facade, you can adopt the following techniques from this project: contrasting combination of materials (light panels with warm wood), use of cantilevered extensions to create dynamism, application of a single material in different exterior elements to create a unified architectural language, as well as playing with geometric volumes to form an interesting building silhouette.
