This modern residential house is a flawless example of minimalist architecture with a contrasting two-story composition. The upper volume is designed as a glass pavilion in a black metal frame, partially concealed by perforated panels that create an interplay of light and shadow. Particularly noteworthy is the modular facade of the second floor with its rhythmic alternation of transparent glass surfaces and translucent screens, which provide privacy without sacrificing natural illumination.
The lower level contrasts with the upper one through the use of warm wooden panels and concrete elements, creating a sense of solidity and connection to the earth. Here, the architect skillfully combines various materials—wood, concrete, glass, and metal—forming a multi-layered texture on the facade. The entrance area is minimally designed, with simple geometric concrete steps laid through a gravel garden with elements of landscape design.
Especially remarkable is the pergola structure on the roof of the upper floor, which not only serves as an architectural accent but also functions as a sun-shading device. At dusk, the interior lighting transforms the house into a glowing object, emphasizing the transparency and materiality of the various facade elements.
When designing your own facade, several techniques can be borrowed from this project: contrasting material combinations for visual separation of building volumes; use of perforated panels or louvers to regulate privacy and insolation; integration of natural textures such as wood to soften the contemporary appearance; application of stepped landscape design that harmoniously connects the architecture with its surroundings.
