This modern residential house is a striking example of an architectural approach that combines functionality and aesthetics. The facade features a minimalist style with contrasting materials — dark panels and light brickwork, creating an expressive composition. The volume of the house is divided into two visually distinct blocks: the main living floor with panoramic glazing and the lower level with a garage.
The interplay of horizontal and vertical lines on the facade deserves special attention. Horizontal cladding elements emphasize the length of the building, while vertical window frame divisions create a rhythmic structure. The flat roof with minimal overhangs enhances the contemporary character of the architecture. The panoramic glazing not only provides good natural lighting for interior spaces but also creates a visual lightness in the upper part of the building.
The landscaping solution complements the architecture organically: a low retaining wall made of natural stone forms a terrace in front of the house, while young trees are planted in a line, creating a living fence that will eventually provide privacy for the terrace.
When designing your own house, similar techniques can be highly effective: contrasting combinations of materials (for example, wood and stone, metal and glass), horizontal division of the facade to visually expand the space, use of large window openings to connect with the surrounding landscape, as well as creating different levels on the site using retaining walls to add dimensionality and functionality to the external space.
