This modern urban dwelling exemplifies industrial aesthetics in residential architecture. The three-story volume with its corrugated metal facade demonstrates a minimalist approach to urban housing, while simultaneously standing out against the neighboring traditional buildings.
The building's facade is clad in vertical light gray metal panels, creating an interesting interplay of light and shadow thanks to the ribbed texture of the material. Bright red accents add particular expressiveness to the composition – a window opening on the upper floor and the entrance area with a canopy, both executed in a rich red color. These elements not only become focal points that draw the eye but also break up the monotony of the metal facade.
Window openings of various sizes and configurations are rhythmically arranged on the facade, creating a dynamic image. The second floor features an especially interesting solution with perforated red metal inserts that complement the composition and echo the other red accents of the building.
In designing your own home, several techniques from this project could be adopted: using industrial materials to create a contemporary look; applying contrasting color accents to enliven a monochromatic base; playing with textures and perforation to create visual interest; combining different types of glazing to ensure privacy while maintaining natural lighting.
