Exterior Design

Harmony of external appearance and internal content is one of the first challenges faced by designers and architects. During development of the interiors, you should not forget which impression facade and its environment makes.

Exterior design includes not only competent finishing of facade; this notion also includes aesthetically correct approach to the landscape of the surrounding area: auxiliary buildings and small architectural forms (fencing, benches, lanterns, garden houses, terraces, fountains, etc.) In order to create a coherent architectural ensemble, facade and adjacent territory should be made in the same style taking into account all the peculiarities of this territory, illumination, geometry, number of stores and size of the building.

Exterior of buildings is constantly changing. Some details of the exterior are typical for a certain area or era, thus, exteriors of some buildings can be classified, with confidence, as Gothic, Empire, Classicism, etc. At the same time, exterior can be highly individual and unique.

Modern exterior design is characterized by different, even seemingly contradictory trends: on the one hand, desire to fill in exterior with technical devices, special equipment (air conditioning systems, computers, stored-energy elements, etc.), on the other hand – “stay close” to nature,  inclusion of natural elements (herbs, pools, fragments of relief, transparent surfaces and walls). A single exterior appearance of the building can have several entirely different interior design solutions.
