Modern Corrugated Metal Facades

Corrugated metal cladding lends these homes a charming, rough around the edges quality.

In Scandinavian regions, traditional cabins are painted black using a mixture of tar and linseed oil. Peck reproduced the look using corrugated metal—a lower-maintenance, more sustainable material. “We love that it is black, because it really reminds us of home,” Bronee says. The house has no windows on its front side, belying its light-flooded interior.

Langston-Jones, who grew up in Malaysia and Hong Kong, was attracted to corrugated metal for its its unique edges and visible flecks of material. He left the original 1920s corrugated steel roof and filled the interior with panes of the same material, as well as walls of sanded concrete and a concrete slab. “Inside and outside, there’s only one set of finishes, which succeeds in drawing the outside inside,” he says. “The climate here is wonderful, you can virtually live outside.”

French doors from Bonelli Windows & Doors were installed to satisfy a fire code that called for an aperture in the room. “Our lot is zoned more like industrial,” says Elliot. “We can build tall, up to 50 feet. It’s a good investment property.” The couple worked closely with the contractor, Dan Matarozzi, whom Elliot had worked with on another project. It was he who suggested architect Todd Davis.

Architect Ben Waechter wrapped the upper floor of Nick Oakley’s house in inexpensive black corrugated steel. By rounding the corners, Waechter avoided unsightly trim at the edges.
