Nowadays, the choice of building facade style is one of the most important decisions in the design of residential and luxury villas. In Nazarabad, where the growth of villa construction has been significant in recent years, two architectural styles, namely Roman facade and modern facade are the most popular. But what is the difference between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas? Which one is more suitable for your climate, budget and taste?
In this article, from the point of view of design, materials, cost, execution and durability, we will examine the differences between these two styles in detail, and at the end we will explain why cooperation with Ahura Stonemasons is the best choice for the implementation of both types of facades in Nazarabad.
General knowledge of Roman and modern styles in villas
Before entering into the comparison, we must know each of the two styles.
What is Roman facade?
Roman facade is a style derived from classical European architecture. In this style, columns, capitals, raised frames and volumetric designs are used. Natural stone, especially travertine, is the main material in the Roman facade. The purpose of this style is to create glory, symmetry and a sense of luxury.
What is a modern view?
نمای مدرن بر پایهی سادگی، خطوط مستقیم، عدم قرینگی و استفاده از مواد معاصر مانند شیشه، فلز، سرامیک و ترکیب رنگهای خنثی طراحی میشود. The focus in this style is on efficiency, minimalism and connection with the surrounding environment. In Nazarabad, both styles have their fans, but the right choice requires a detailed understanding of the difference between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas.
The difference between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas in terms of design
1. General structure and form
In the Roman facade, the focus of the design is on symmetry and precise geometric proportion. Sections such as columns, arches, and ridges induce a sense of visual order. In the modern view, everything is focused on simplicity and functionality; Eliminating extra decorations and using simple and cubic volumes form the basis of the design.
2. Decorative details
In the Roman facade, there are many details: frames, petals, Corinthian capitals, window frames and stone sculptures. On the contrary, in the modern facade, the emphasis is on Minimalism. Simple lines and smooth surfaces replace heavy decorations.
3. The ratio of openings (doors and windows)
In the Roman style, the windows are usually smaller, symmetrical, and have prominent frames. In the modern style, the openings are larger, frameless, and sometimes all glass to create a greater connection between the inside and the outside. With experience in both styles, Ahura stonemasons can design in such a way that you have both beauty and functionality together.
The difference between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas in terms of materials
Roman facade and stone materials
In the implementation of the Roman facade, natural stone is the main element. Abbas Abad travertine or Haji Abad stone are the most used, which convey a sense of luxury with their bright color and polished surface. In larger projects, marble or firestone may be used to create a grander effect.
Modern facade and mixed materials
In the modern facade, various materials are used such as exposed concrete, composite, glass, thermowood and even firebrick. The goal is to create visual contrast and color and texture play.
Therefore, one of the main differences between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas is in the "type of material used". Roman is more based on stone and volume, while modern is based on the play of light, angle and material contrast.
Durability and maintenance
The Roman facade is very durable due to the use of natural stone. Stones show great resistance to sunlight, rain, cold and impact and can be easily repaired in case of surface damage.
On the contrary, the modern facade, which consists of several materials, may require more maintenance over time, especially when metal or wood materials are used in its design. Therefore, for villas located in windy or rainy areas of Nazarabad, Roman stone facade is a safer option.
adaptation to the climate of Nazarabad
The climate of Nazarabad is semi-arid with hot summers and cold winters. In such a climate, natural stone has the best performance because it tolerates temperature changes well. Therefore, in the villas of the region, the Roman style is more compatible with the environmental conditions. On the contrary, in areas with direct sunlight, the dark colors of modern facades may increase the temperature of the building surface.
Suggestions of Ahura stonemasons:
If the villa is located on the outskirts of the city or in the countryside, the Roman facade is recommended. In smaller buildings in the urban context of Nazarabad, the modern facade is a smarter choice.
The difference between Roman and modern facades in Nazarabad villas in terms of lighting
In Roman architecture, lighting is emphasized and focused. Usually, spotlights are installed under columns, frames, and stone details to show the reliefs. But in the modern facade, the lighting is linear and uniform; LED profiles or wall lights with minimal radiation are used to emphasize simple lines and sharp corners. Both styles of lighting require expertise and coordination with the facade plan. Sang Karan Ahura designs the light at the same time as the execution of the stone to ensure perfect harmony.
Beauty and personal taste
Finally, the choice between Roman and modern is completely dependent on the taste and spirit of the employer.
- If you are interested in a magnificent and royal look, the Roman facade is the best option.
- If you are interested in a modern and simple design, the modern facade is your choice.
In recent Ahura projects, many employers have tried to use a combination of these two styles; For example, overall modern design but with classic stone columns at the entrance.
