A style that as we already mentioned, optimizes and updates the modern buildings, which are usually wide, with horizontal axis in the windows, wider than high, with low ceilings, and sometimes we do not appreciate ornamental decoration but there may be structural elements in sight.

The contemporary houses or houses they are made up of volumes, like harmonized boxes, and the different models are determined thanks to the different varieties of configurations.

Use of Stone in Modern Facades

When our house has a facade that includes stone As a construction and protection element, it is not only a positive point when it comes to protecting our home against some natural elements such as rain, hail or sun, but it also gives a very warm image to the whole.

In addition to this, a suitable placement will make our housing stand out from the rest within our neighborhood, also having an added bonus since requires little maintenance.

Use of Wood on the exterior floor and Dark Stone Blocks on all walls

When designing a modern house, surely one of the first ideas that cross our minds will be the use of glass and metal, or concrete; but what perhaps we sometimes overlook, is that this kind of coating (stone) used properly, achieve an incredible warmth in the final design.

Let us think that, above all, the combination of stone and wood it makes the houses highlight some of the parts of its structure, and that, thanks to the roughness in the texture of the stone, adds a lot of character to the architectural construction.

Combining materials used in avant-garde constructions As for example steel in its natural color, architects sometimes design stone facades in modern houses. As we can see in the images, the aforementioned materials must be placed properly in order to achieve the desired effect, bearing in mind that a bad choice between the texture of the stone, the chosen colors and other materials, can give a counterproductive result .

Thanks to it, you can have a better idea of which one or which you can select to be part of your future façade or inside your home.
