This impressive modern building, known as "JINGHAUS," represents a striking example of contrasting design in contemporary architecture. The facade of the building showcases an interesting combination of materials—light gray concrete forming the main volume, and warm rust-orange metal inserts creating a dynamic accent on the facade. Particularly noteworthy is the projecting cantilevered section with metal cladding, which gives the building a sense of movement and lightness, despite the massiveness of the concrete structure.
The facade features thoughtful geometry and asymmetry, with interesting circular windows that add character and originality to the strict concrete volume. The architect skillfully plays with form and texture, using horizontal lines in the concrete finish that emphasize the width of the building and create contrast with the vertical elements of the metal sections.
On the ground floor, there is a "ZOO COFFEE" cafe, visually separated from the main volume of the building through large glazing and the upper volume elevated on columns. This creates a welcoming public space and lightens the perception of the massive upper part of the structure.
In designing your own home facade, several techniques can be borrowed: contrasting combinations of materials with different textures and colors; the use of cantilevered projections to create dynamics; integration of non-standard window shapes to add individuality; playing with levels and volumes to create an interesting visual effect. Additionally, the use of clean lines and angles softened by rounded elements is notable, creating a balance between strictness and expressiveness.
