#9770. Modern Two-Tone Facade with Contrasting Geometry

The image showcases a modern two-story private residence executed in a minimalist modernist style with a carefully designed contrasting facade. The architectural composition is built on a combination of various materials and geometric forms, creating a visually appealing and dynamic appearance.

The building's facade is notable for its two-tone solution: the lower part is made of gray stone blocks with alternating light and dark stripes, which add texture and rhythm, while the upper section is clad in white horizontal panels. Dark blue (or graphite) accents in the form of window frames and a protruding volume on the second floor balance the composition and add depth.

The glazing deserves special attention — large panoramic windows on the first floor open the interior space to natural light, while the second-floor windows, combined into a single block, create an expressive architectural accent. The minimalist lines of the building are softened by thoughtful landscaping with low shrubs and decorative plants.

For your own home, you could adopt the following techniques: contrasting combination of facade materials to create visual interest; use of horizontal lines to visually expand the space; accentuating functional elements (windows, entrance group) with contrasting color; combining different textures to add depth and character to the building. This house demonstrates how contemporary architecture can be both laconic and expressive.
