Before us is a modern residential building with a distinctly geometric facade composition. The architectural solution is built on the contrast between light and dark volumes. The dominant white walls create a base onto which graphical black elements are overlaid, forming a dynamic appearance of the structure.
The facade features a play of volumes of varying depths — the central dark portal protrudes forward, creating a three-dimensional composition. Of particular interest are the windows of non-standard shape with inclined elements that break orthogonality and add a contemporary character to the building. Dark frames around window openings on the white part of the facade enhance the graphic quality and expressiveness of the architectural solution.
The entrance to the building is accentuated by a concrete staircase with clean lines and minimalist landscape design, including stone aggregate and selective greenery. The palm tree in the foreground gives the building regional context and softens the strict geometry of the facade.
When designing your own home, a similar technique of contrasting dark and light planes can visually structure a facade even of simple form. Playing with depth and protruding elements creates interesting light and shadow effects. Non-standard window openings and their framing can become a key decorative element without the need for complex ornamentation.
