Types and features of the modern exterior

Exterior - the artistic or architectural appearance of a one-story or multi-story building, giving the composition a special aesthetic value. The design of architectural complexes plays an important role, it allows to solve a number of pragmatic and artistic goals. Today, the design of exteriors is also as thorough as the decoration of rooms in the house.In fact, any design company is ready to offer a catalog of unique solutions or to develop an individual project that gives aesthetics to any building.

Exterior views by building type

The simplest classification of the exterior: the design of a one-story building and work with multi-storey complexes. Also, directions in the design of buildings can be divided into the following two categories:
  1. Exterior design of a private house;
  2. The design of a private building.
The perfect appearance of the house allows you to create a spectacular landscape design of the site, and complement the aesthetic position of the interior of the house. For a public building, the exterior creates a certain aesthetic position and attracts potential customers (advertising function).

The style of buildings

Like interior solutions, the exterior of buildings can only be developed in a specific stylistic concept. Comparison of the supply of a specific direction for the interior of the house and for the design of the facade of the structure is probably impossible to make thoroughly. The main styles of exterior design:
  • Ethno
  • High tech;
  • Minimalism;
  • Modern;
  • Gothic;
  • Baroque;
  • Classic;
  • Country
  • Eco style.
Each style has its own color schemes, decoration combinations, design features. It is also worth noting that the exterior of any building can be presented in a laconic design or decorated with extra-complex structures.

Exterior views according to trends

The exterior, like interior solutions, is constantly undergoing changes. It transforms and adapts to new trends, current trends, fashion trends. Today it is safe to say that the design of architectural complexes is divided into two key areas. Here is a brief overview of each of them:
  1. A modern approach using technical innovations;
  2. Eco-style, involving the use of extremely simple natural materials and compositions, "close to nature."
Computer equipment, air conditioning systems, technical protection of the house, energy storage elements will make the house more modern and comfortable from a technical point of view. All gadgets organically look in the stylistic ensembles of modernism, minimalism, constructivism. Natural components (greenery, original fragments of the relief, transparent coatings, specific wall decoration) give the building a special cosiness and sense of peace.

Exterior of architectural complexes: main components

Exterior, as well as interior compositions, form many elements. Moreover, the composition itself consists of certain components that make the “face of the house”. The exterior of any building can be divided into two components:
  • Facade (facade decoration plays an important role);
  • Entrance group (a kind of "visiting card" of any private home or administrative buildings).
If we talk about restaurants, trading houses, hotels and administrative complexes, it is worth mentioning another important element - brand visualization. Usually these are bright luminous inscriptions that reveal the essence of the brand.

Exterior types by type of finishing materials

The base of any exterior is a decorated facade. To create an organic composition, designed in a certain style, a lot of finishing materials are used. Types of finishes that form a specific composition of the exterior:
  • Professional sheet;
  • Siding;
  • Plaster;
  • Glass;
  • Block house;
  • Tree;
  • Fake diamond;
  • A natural stone;
  • Porcelain tile;
  • Brick;
  • Tile;
  • Stucco molding;
  • Combined options.
Each style has its own set of materials. Stucco and stone are good in classical compositions. Glass, siding and corrugated board organically look in the exterior in the Art Nouveau style. The tree emphasizes the basic ideas of eco-trends.

About the entrance group

The entrance group plays an important role in the exterior of luxury private households and in various shopping and entertainment complexes. We are talking about the location of the doors and a convenient approach (or access) to them. All elements of the composition should form a single organic system. They also form the image, set the tone and a certain mood, allow you to quickly identify the social status of the owners of residential apartments or commercial buildings, to study the taste and basic preferences of those who were engaged in its design.
