Alpine Modern Chalet: Contrasting Wood and Concrete Facade with Cantilevered Overhang

#8568. Alpine Modern Chalet: Contrasting Wood and Concrete Facade with Cantilevered Overhang

This impressive modern house represents a masterful combination of natural materials and bold architectural solutions. The building's facade is a prime example of bioclimatic architecture, where vertical wooden slats harmoniously blend with raw concrete and metal structural elements.

The cantilevered section of the upper floor deserves special attention, creating a dramatic overhang above the lower level. The architect skillfully used contrast of textures: the warmth of natural wood softens the cold severity of the concrete base. The facade is enlivened by diagonal wooden elements in the lower part of the building, which not only serve a decorative function but also add dynamics to the entire composition.

The panoramic glazing and open terrace on the second floor provide a visual connection with the surrounding nature, making the landscape part of the interior. The minimalist facade design is compensated by thoughtful details: metal railings, lighting, and the smooth lines of the roof.

When designing your own house, you can adopt several techniques from this project: contrasting combination of materials (wood/concrete/metal), using cantilevers to create protected spaces, vertical wooden slats for partial shading and visual lightening of the building's mass. Also worth noting is the organic integration of the structure into the landscape – the house literally grows from the slope, while the wooden deck with swimming pool creates a smooth transition to the surrounding nature.
