The house confidently combines modernity and tactility. There is no unnecessary decor here — clean forms, materials, and light do all the work.
The voluminous composition works on contrast — massive monolithic concrete blocks are combined with light wooden inserts. This creates a rhythm of heavy and airy.2
The perforated wall on the right is a strong accent. The geometric pattern transforms a blank surface into lace, allowing light to pass through and adding graphic interest. This is a classic modernist technique, but here it also serves to enhance privacy.3
The cantilevered projections of the second floor emphasize horizontality. The house seems to float above the plot. This effect is enhanced by the deep, dark shadows under the canopies.4
The exposed concrete texture is an honest material without embellishment. The traces of formwork are visible, adding tactility. Brutalism in a modern interpretation, but not aggressive.5
Wooden slats on the fence and parts of the facade soften the concrete's severity. The vertical rhythm of the slats contrasts with the horizontal lines of the canopies.Facade #18819 from Archi.Capital base.
