#9568. Modern wooden façade with horizontal cladding and dynamic form

The image showcases a modern country house with an expressive wooden façade. The architecture features clean geometric forms and a minimalist approach, characteristic of contemporary Scandinavian or Central European design. The façade is completely clad with horizontal wooden slats, creating a rhythmic texture across the entire surface of the building.

Particularly noteworthy is the asymmetrical mono-pitched roof with a pronounced overhang, emphasized by exposed wooden beams, which gives the building a dynamic silhouette. The façade has a thoughtful distribution of window openings—rectangular windows of standard size on the second floor, while the ground floor features large panoramic windows, providing maximum natural light and connection with the surrounding landscape.

The projecting element of the second floor forms a small balcony or covered terrace, creating an interesting architectural accent and adding dimensionality to the composition. The architect skillfully utilized the natural texture of wood, which has acquired a noble silvery-gray hue over time due to environmental exposure, an eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solution.

When designing your own façade, several techniques used in this project could be adopted: horizontal wooden cladding to create visual rhythm; contrast between closed parts of the façade and open glazed surfaces; use of natural materials that age beautifully; creation of projecting volumes to add dynamism; and finally, integration of open spaces (terraces) into the overall architectural composition of the building.
