The image showcases a modern countryside residence that demonstrates an expressive combination of materials and volumes. The architectural composition is built on the contrast between a two-story volume with a metal facade and a single-story section made of dark brick. The facade of the upper volume is clad in vertical light gray metal panels, giving it an industrial, contemporary appearance.
Particular attention is drawn to the wooden inserts of natural timber in warm tones, which frame some of the window openings, creating a pleasant contrast with the cold metal cladding. Large panoramic windows provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces and establish a visual connection with the surrounding landscape. The lower section of the second floor features dark cladding, creating the effect of a floating volume.
The single-story section of the house is constructed from dark brick, emphasizing its "groundedness" in contrast to the lighter upper volume. A simple concrete terrace serves as a transitional zone between the house and the surrounding nature. The interior, visible through the windows, includes bright accents (such as a turquoise wall), adding life to the predominantly neutral exterior palette.
For a home project, one could borrow techniques such as combining contrasting materials (metal, wood, brick), using vertical lines in the cladding to visually increase the building's height, strategically placing wooden inserts to soften cold materials, and creating various volumes to add architectural interest. The technique of a "floating" upper floor with a recessed dark lower section is also effective.
