#8402. Alpine Modern: Contrasting Facade with Panoramic Glazing in Forest Setting

A modern country house with an expressive combination of pointed roofs and flat volumes. The facade demonstrates an interesting dialogue between the traditional chalet form with its characteristic slopes and modern aesthetics expressed through clean lines and minimalist details.

The architectural composition consists of two main volumes: a white structure with vertical cladding and a dynamic triangular volume with extensive glazing. Particularly impressive is the triangular facade with panoramic windows, creating an effect of dissolving boundaries between the interior space and the surrounding nature.

The facade materials are selected with careful attention to contrast and texture: white vertical cladding, warm wooden elements, concrete blocks, and large glass surfaces. The wooden beams extending over the terrace serve not only as a structural element but also create an elegant transition between interior and exterior.

The base section of concrete blocks provides visual strength to the structure, while the stone masonry at the foundation organically connects the building to the natural landscape. The open terrace with large glass sliding doors expands the living space and creates a smooth transition to the surrounding forest.

In your own project, a similar approach to the facade can be adapted by using contrasting materials to highlight architectural volumes, integrating panoramic glazing for maximum interaction with nature, and combining traditional roof forms with modern details to create a unique yet harmonious appearance for the home.
