facade

Working with a building's facade and the roof significantly influence the visual and artistic image of residential buildings. The potential of visual-compositional means for the creation of expressive building forms is only partially used today. Maximizing the efficiency principle of building plots often has a negative impact on the overall aesthetics. Homogeneity, recurrence, absence of profile characterize such architectural solutions.

A lot of mass media write about the summer spaces aesthetics problem.  The articles, notes, posts, blogs and other content are dedicated primarily to the experience of housing exploitation.

However, architects, urban planners and other professionals determine the problem rather rarely.  Summer spaces, first of all, balconies, loggias and terraces are important as functionally as  aesthetically

for the creation of comfortable, modern and visually expressive housing.
