Since architecture of ancient peoples should be preserved, the design of this project preserves this premise. That is why we proposed a compact design with a minimum number of windows, using materials that are existing in the area to create a contemporary structure and keep its relationship with the environment.

Thanks to the design of the house, the use of new materials and details of construction in a rural space traditional. Despite the use of wood without decorations, concrete inside and large glass surfaces, its different conception of details, it seems that this house has been part of this town since ancient times.

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.
