Before us is a striking example of contemporary architecture, demonstrating a bold combination of volumes and materials. The building represents a multi-level composition with dynamic cantilevered projections, creating the impression of floating volumes. The upper level, clad in gray vertical panels, effectively hangs over the lighter base, giving the structure visual lightness despite the massiveness of its forms.
The facade of the upper volume is designed in a minimalist manner using a vertical rhythm of gray metal panels, which gives the building restraint and elegance. The wooden insert in the recess of the upper floor serves as a contrasting accent, adding warmth to the cold palette of metal. The middle level is executed in light tones with horizontal lines of balcony railings, creating an interesting interplay with the verticals of the upper part.
Special attention should be paid to the structural solution of the base — the inclined supports create a dramatic effect and visually lighten the massive volume of the building. The lower level is functionally organized as a garage space, with the architect skillfully integrating the utilitarian zone into the overall composition of the building without sacrificing aesthetics.
This project demonstrates several techniques that can be adapted for private housing: playing with cantilevered projections (even small ones), contrasting combination of materials, using vertical articulation of the facade to visually increase height, and integrating wooden elements as a warm accent in a monochrome palette. An interesting solution is the emphasized geometry of volumes and the use of different materials to highlight the functional areas of the building.
