Design of the facade of a single-family building made for the Magprojekt company. I would like to share with you the interesting story of this project. One day I was approached by a client who had built a house that she didn't like visually. The shape was too simple and uninteresting. She asked me to design a facade for her that would meet all her expectations and make a good impression. It was a very interesting experience for me.
First, I created vertical divisions of the facade using facade lamellas imitating wood. Thanks to this, the shape visually fragmented, creating the impression of a more complicated form. Secondly, I designed the roof. Thanks to large poles and frames, I managed to isolate new forms from the structure. In this way, the building changed its original shape. Thirdly, I used dark facade panels imitating concrete to further isolate the spaces under the roof, creating a visual impression of depth. The entrance space has been even more highlighted and accentuated.
At the back, the roof over the terrace made the structure more monumental and modern. To further accentuate the façade and illuminate the space around it, I added recessed lighting under the roof. It gave it chic and elegance. This is also functional because the space around the building was previously dark. Paths, stairs and terraces are also a very important element. Modern dark concrete paving slabs are elegant, durable and easy to clean.
Accessories such as flower pots, fencing, area lighting and greenery complete the vision. A shelter next to the building protects against rain. An interesting solution to the problem of an empty, straight building wall was to design climbing greenery on one of the building's facades. It breathed a lot of life into this project. Finally, I managed to bring out the hidden potential in this project. The project met the client's expectations.
