This is an outstanding example of modern architecture using a perforated wooden facade. The building presents as a rectangular volume completely clad in wooden beams arranged in a lattice structure. The facade is executed in a wooden perforation technique, creating the effect of a semi-transparent screen, which gives the building both monumentality and lightness.
The warm brown color of the wood contrasts with the bright blue sky, creating an expressive visual effect. The lattice structure allows light to pass through and creates an interesting play of shadows both on the facade itself and inside the building. At the lower part of the facade, there is a glass entrance that visually lightens the massive structure of the building.
Particularly interesting is the rhythm of wooden elements that are arranged with varying density, creating a dynamic texture. This solution is not only aesthetically appealing but also functional — it provides natural ventilation and control of sunlight.
Similar techniques can be adapted for a private home, using wooden lattice panels as facade elements or partitions on a terrace. This will create an interesting play of light and shadow, provide privacy without completely blocking the view, and add textural depth to the facade. The wooden grid can also serve as support for climbing plants, uniting architecture with landscape.
