High-Tech Style in the Architecture of Private Residential Buildings

The architecture of the high-tech style is considered on the example of private residential buildings in Europe, Asia and Russia. At present, in the world architecture, high-tech continues to play a significant role in the design and construction of private residential buildings. The latest materials and technologies are still used in construction and design. By applying the method of comparative analysis, it is possible to identify the features of the architecture of private residential buildings. It has been determined that high-tech forms have ceased to be used as purely iconic, decorative additions in shaping and have become utilitarian-functional and technical elements (ventilation shafts, chimneys, volumes of stairs, elevators, solar panels, wind generators, a metal frame in the form of support-pipes, special avant-garde design of lamps), which in its appearance clearly demonstrates the use of high-tech solutions. High-tech of private residential buildings opposes uniformity, seriality and stands for a bright individuality in architecture.
