S-2 – Minimalist Family House with Black Exterior

The S-2 Family House is a conceptual proposal for a home in Namyslow, Poland. A departure from typical modernist residential architecture, it is a dark, visually heavy design that contrasts sharply with its natural environment. The design is decidedly masculine and monumental, the dark charcoal color conjuring images of urban industrialism. The overall shape of the S-2 Family house is quite traditional, but its execution is distinctly modern. The walls and roof are blank, shingled planes, punctuated by windows on only one side. The S-2 Family House is an interesting exploration of the juxtaposition of several different styles in a single project. For more information visit Tamizo Architects.
