This modern residence exemplifies minimalist design with a contrasting facade solution. The facade composition is built on the combination of two primary materials: a textured brown wall resembling volcanic stone or concrete with a tactile surface, and horizontal black slats forming the gate and entrance door.
Particularly noteworthy is the well-conceived facade geometry – strict rectangular forms are softened by the rhythmic arrangement of horizontal elements in the gate and door, creating an interesting interplay of light and shadow. This solution is not only aesthetically appealing but also provides partial privacy while allowing air and light to penetrate through the spaces between the slats.
Behind the gate, a car can be spotted, indicating the functionality of the design that combines aesthetics with practicality. The upper floor of the building, finished in white, creates a striking contrast with the dark base, visually lightening the entire structure and giving it an airy quality.
For a personal home, several techniques can be borrowed from this facade: the use of contrasting materials, horizontal slats for creating privacy without complete isolation, a minimalist color palette of 2-3 shades for a contemporary look, and accent lighting (visible fixtures on the facade) that highlights the texture of materials in the evening.
