This architectural object represents an excellent example of a harmonious combination of historical architecture and modern solutions. The composition consists of a traditional stone house and a contemporary addition that together create a cohesive architectural ensemble. The historical part is made of natural stone in a sandy-brown shade with characteristic irregular masonry, giving it authenticity and connection to local building traditions.
The modern wing features bold lines and contrasting materials. The facade of the contemporary addition is characterized by a combination of stone masonry in the lower section and dark metal panels in the upper portion. Particularly noteworthy is the pitched roof with metal covering and integrated solar panels—a functional solution that simultaneously serves ecological purposes while becoming a design element. Large panoramic windows create visual lightness and provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces.
The facade design successfully employs the technique of contrasting textures and materials: traditional rough stone is juxtaposed with smooth contemporary surfaces. Wooden accents in the window framing add warmth to the overall composition. There is a thoughtful approach to proportions—the height and width of different parts of the building are balanced despite the difference in styles.
For your own home, you might consider adopting the following techniques: combining natural and modern materials on the facade to create visual interest; using contrasting colors and textures to highlight architectural elements; integrating functional elements (solar panels) into the roof design; creating transitional zones between indoor and outdoor spaces using terraces and patios, as seen in the image.
