Before us is a striking example of modern minimalist architecture where the facade plays a key role in creating the overall image of the building. The two-story house with its cubic form is executed in a contrasting color palette: the main volume is clad in dark horizontal panels that effectively complement the warm wooden inserts of a reddish-brown hue.
The building's facade demonstrates the principle of material honesty and clean lines. Large panoramic windows of varying sizes create a rhythmic composition on the dark surface and provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces. Particularly noteworthy is the small projection with wooden cladding, which serves as an accent and visually marks the entrance area.
The house is set on a light concrete foundation, creating the effect of a floating structure above the ground. The laconic entrance group with a straight staircase and minimalist railings emphasizes the contemporary character of the building. The architect skillfully used the contrast between solid opaque surfaces and transparent glass openings, creating an interplay of light and shadow.
In designing your own facade, you could adopt several techniques from this project: contrasting combination of materials (dark panels and natural wood), horizontal orientation of the cladding to visually expand the space, large window openings for better insolation, and non-standard window placement to create a dynamic image. It's also worth noting how the entrance zone is highlighted by changing materials or using a projecting volume.
