This modern duplex is an excellent example of minimalist architecture with clean geometric forms. The building's facade is organized on the principle of contrasting materials — gray stone on the upper level and warm wooden panels on the lower one. The upper floor, clad in gray stone slabs, appears to float above the transparent ground floor, creating an effect of lightness for the massive structure.
The composition of the facade is particularly expressive with two projecting volumes at the edges, forming a U-shaped structure. Large panoramic windows in these volumes maximize the interior's openness to the external space while ensuring natural lighting. The central part of the second floor features glass sliding doors leading to a small terrace with minimalist glass railings.
The ground floor is partially finished with wooden slats, adding textural variety and warmth to the strict geometric volume. The clear division between public and private zones is emphasized by both the architectural solution and the organization of the entrance group. The laconic metal fence with vertical slats supports the overall minimalist aesthetic, providing privacy without visual heaviness.
Similar techniques can be used in private house construction: contrasting combination of materials (stone/wood/glass), playing with facade volumes, using cantilevers to create visual lightness, vertical wooden slats as elements of sun protection and decoration, and minimalist railings to maintain the purity of the architectural solution.
