The way we finish buildings on the exterior is essential for not only practical reasons (to keep buildings dry) but also for aesthetics. In this house in Stamford, Lincolnshire, we used treated timber cladding. The aim of the design was to create a 'floating' pod that doesn't conform to the existing building's form and alignment. The cedar wood has been used as full lengths (from top to bottom) as well as the window reveal linings. When you have a simple facade like this, details are essential – screws, equally spaced and aligned, keep the cladding in position but don't over-dominate. The windows with a darker frame to act as an aperture rather than being seen as a window. #ModernArchitecture #ContemporaryDesign #SustainableArchitecture #ArchitecturalDetails #ExteriorDesign #ArchitecturePhotography30

Design a modern commercial corporate building with a striking elevation. Incorporate a balanced blend of concrete, natural stone cladding, and sleek glass panels to create a professional yet innovative aesthetic. The design should exude sophistication and functionality, with clean lines, dynamic angles, and a prominent entrance that reflects corporate elegance. Maximize natural light with glass elements while ensuring stone and concrete provide a robust and timeless structure. #ModernArchitecture #CorporateBuilding #InnovativeDesign #GlassAndStone #SustainableDesign #ContemporaryArchitecture #CommercialSpaces #FunctionalDesign #ArchitecturalElegance #UrbanArchitecture #LightAndSpace #TimelessDesign #BuildingWithCharacter #CorporateExcellence #ArchitectureGoals"

This design showcases a modern house heavily inspired by the architectural style of Zaha Hadid, a renowned architect known for her futuristic and fluid designs. Key elements of this design include: Organic Forms: The house features flowing curves and dynamic shapes, mimicking natural elements and creating a sense of movement. Integration with Nature: The large glass windows and open floor plan seamlessly blend the interior with the surrounding landscape, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside. Futuristic Aesthetic: The sleek white exterior, sharp angles, and unconventional form give the house a futuristic and avant-garde look. Parametric Design: The complex curves and shapes suggest the use of parametric modeling, a computer-aided design technique that allows for the creation of intricate geometries. Emphasis on Light and Space: The extensive use of glass maximizes natural light, creating a bright and airy interior. The open floor plan enhances the sense of spaciousness.

A true engineering and structural marvel of modern times.
Warsaw National Stadium’s roof, designed by GMP Architekten, is a striking feature that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. It consists of a steel wire net supporting a textile membrane, creating a dynamic and light-filled canopy that covers the stadium. This roof structure is supported by freestanding steel columns and inclined tie rods, allowing for an expansive and unobstructed interior space. Notably, the interior roof includes a mobile membrane sail that folds above the pitch, enhancing the stadium’s versatility. 🎥 via DesignTherapy #parametricarchitecture #stadiumdesign #urbanlandscape #structuraldesign #architecturalinnovation

Narrow face widths in the GEALAN-KONTUR® system 👌🏻 Contemporary design windows are a key point in façade design. They make the building envelope more functional and give it an attractive appearance. The colour design and design language of the window profiles has a great influence on the exterior appearance of buildings. 🏘️ The GEALAN-KONTUR® system, for example, has a very positive effect on their look. With its straightforwardness and reduction, it is visually captivating. The effect increases even further if the profiles are kept in dark tones. Furthermore, special bonding techniques enable the realization of larger windows with a higher glass content. These then blend harmoniously into the building envelope with the slender frame typical of GEALAN-KONTUR®.

In this dynamic facade design that we did for a new project, the bold use of geometric forms, particularly the half-circle pre-cast concrete balustrades, creates an expressive architectural rhythm that engages both the exterior and the interior experience. These sculptural balconies serve as functional outdoor spaces and unique vantage points, subtly animating the building with playful lines and shifting perspectives. The curved and straight elements interlock to form a visual dialogue, blending urban sophistication with a welcoming openness. The concrete curves around the balconies offer privacy while inviting interaction with the surrounding environment. Each balcony becomes an intimate retreat, a carefully framed stage to observe the world below. Sunlight filters through, casting ever-changing shadows and enriching the facade with a rhythmic pattern of light and shade. This design represents a harmonious balance between solidity and transparency, echoing the timeless principles of architectural purity while embracing a sense of modernity and playfulness.

"Exploring the art of elevation: Different staircase designs for every space and style." Staircases come in various types, each suited to different architectural needs and aesthetic preferences. The straight staircase is the most common, featuring a simple, linear design. L-shaped staircases include a 90-degree turn, adding visual interest and fitting into corner spaces. U-shaped staircases, or half-turn stairs, feature two parallel flights connected by a landing, ideal for compact areas. Spiral staircases coil around a central pole, saving space and adding a striking focal point. Curved staircases offer a more elegant, sweeping design without sharp turns. Bifurcated staircases start as a single flight before splitting into two, creating a grand entrance. Each type offers unique functionality and style, allowing for versatile design options in homes and buildings.

Using reflective glass as an architectural design element can add intrigue and sophistication to any building. By capturing and reflecting sunlight, bodies of water, and surrounding architecture, it creates a dynamic visual experience that instantly draws your attention. Relax Park in Cherkassy, Ukraine, consists of a hotel with several restaurant halls, some located directly on the water. This project is a perfect example of successfully combining reflective glass and Fundermax exterior phenolic panels to create an eye-catching design. Fundermax panels can be used for an assortment of architectural designs for exterior, interior, and laboratory projects. From perforated designs to custom washroom partitions, Fundermax has helped bring many designs to life. Explore our project gallery to see examples from around the world: https://hubs.la/Q02F2Py80 Photo Credit: Andriy Feddorenko #exteriorarchitecture #exteriordesign #modernarchitecture #architectureanddesign #fundermax #createwithfundermax #architect #sustainablematerials #foryoutocreate

Why should you choose Semi-Dry Pediments? Semi-dry pediments are a specific type of architectural element used to decorate and enhance the aesthetic of buildings, often found above entrances, windows, or as part of the facade. They typically feature detailed, decorative designs tailored to complement specific architectural styles and can serve as a transitional element between different parts of a building, creating a cohesive look. The production of semi-dry pediments focuses on achieving sharp, precise details and a smooth finish that enhances their decorative appeal.
