This image showcases a modern urban house with a minimalist facade executed in Japanese-inspired style. The architectural solution is characterized by clean lines and a functional approach. The facade is clad in vertical gray panels, which gives the structure visual elongation and elegance.
The design's distinctive feature is its well-thought-out two-level construction with an open veranda on the second floor, supported by wooden columns. This semi-open terrace creates a space for relaxation and interaction with the environment, offering a semi-enclosed public area. The wooden elements add warmth to the overall restrained color palette and emphasize the connection with nature.
The lower level contrasts with the upper one — it is darker, with large glass doors providing natural lighting to the interior spaces. The landscape design with small plants along the facade softens the strictness of the architectural solution. Important facade details include minimalist window openings on the upper floor and the absence of excessive decorative elements, which emphasizes the purity of forms.
For private construction, the following techniques can be adopted: using vertical siding to visually increase the height of the building, creating semi-open spaces to connect interior with exterior, applying contrasting textures (wood, metal, glass), and thoughtful landscaping of the adjacent territory to soften strict architectural lines.
