The delightful usage of materials afford a dynamic quality to each of the façade. This exceptional materiality also extends to the landscape and internal features. This inventive arrangement of internal volumes accentuates the spatial hierarchy evident in the planning.
The Corten House is a 3-storey residence with an L-shaped layout embracing the landscaped garden and swimming pool.The house is formed by a series of boxes, allowing natural lighting to penetrate the interior and create privacy.The interlocking volumes are anchored by the stairs connecting the spaces within the house.A semi-basement car park was worked within the slope, creating a welcoming pedestrian-friendly entrance.Lush outdoor landscaping softens the external environment, giving a sense of balance and harmony.
The front façade features a two-storey striated fair-faced concrete finish in contrast with Corten steel cladding on the Southwest.The foyer welcomes with a concrete wall featuring shadow play from the timber-look louvred steel roof patio.The elevated landscaped garden and swimming pool are framed by the interlocking massing of the house and lush greeneries.
A combination of timber and steel material from the external continues to the feature steel staircase in the living room.One side of the staircase is screened by steel and timber panels creating a transition between the public and private spaces on the upper levels.The dining room features a double-storey glass façade with openable glass panels to blur the boundary with the external swimming pool area.
