Modern house exterior design SPACE A007 is a facade concept that the SPACE DESIGN team developed for one of our projects abroad. It is contemporary architecture with clean geometric forms, a strong contrast of materials and carefully planned layered lighting that changes the look of the house throughout the day.

The house has two main levels, each with its own character. The upper floor is a massive cantilevered volume clad in light, ribbed facade panels. It projects over the lower level, creating a striking visual accent and acting as passive sun shading for the panoramic windows of the first floor. The lower level is darker and more enclosed, with large areas of glazing that open the interior to the plot.
Facade materials
We combined three main materials: light facade panels with a vertical relief, dark horizontal louvres and textured architectural concrete. The louvres add privacy and visual movement, while the concrete of the lower level and the fence brings durability and connects the house to the landscape. A restrained palette — light, dark and grey — makes the facade coherent and recognizable.
Facade design: rhythm and proportion
The vertical lines of the upper-floor panels and the horizontal louvres below create a rhythm that reads from a distance. Large windows are placed to bring in as much daylight as possible, and the cantilever above them shades the rooms from direct sun at the hottest times of day. The flat roof and crisp edges emphasise the contemporary character of the architecture.
Architectural lighting and the night-time facade
Architectural lighting is a separate part of the concept. We developed several scenarios that completely change how the house is perceived after dark. Linear LED lighting around the cantilevers outlines the geometry and makes the massive upper floor appear to float. Alongside warm base lighting, the design allows for accent coloured lighting, such as deep red, which turns the facade into a contemporary art object.
Entrance and landscaping
The entrance and the area around the house follow a minimalist style: restrained planting with conifers, concrete planters along the terrace and concealed ground lighting around the perimeter. Parking is built into the overall composition, so functional areas do not break the clean look of the plot.
Modern standards and energy efficiency
On projects like this, we follow global trends in sustainable, energy-efficient architecture, regularly covered by international platforms such as ArchDaily. Shading cantilevers, louvres and well-oriented windows help reduce overheating in summer and keep rooms bright in winter.
What house exterior design includes
- an architectural concept and selection of facade materials;
- 3D visualizations of the facades by day and by night;
- architectural lighting scenarios;
- solutions for the entrance, fence and landscaping;
- drawings and specifications for the builders.
With modern house exterior design from SPACE DESIGN, you get not just a visualization but a fully worked-out design ready for construction in Ukraine or abroad.
Frequently asked questions
What does a commercial or house design project include?
A brief, a concept, a layout or architectural solution, 3D visualizations, technical drawings and specifications for materials and furniture. If needed, we provide author’s supervision during construction or renovation.
Can I order just a concept?
Yes. A concept with visualizations helps you evaluate the idea, compare options and make decisions before investing in construction. It can later be developed into a full working design.
Do you work on projects in other cities and countries?
Yes. We have offices in Lviv and Warsaw and run projects in several countries: meetings and approvals happen online, and we prepare documentation that local contractors can work with.
