Cor-ten

To cause the least amount of disturbance on the land, Low Design positioned the house on a steel pier and beam foundation. A simple palette of corrugated metal and stained cedar is durable against the harsh climate.

A workshop and storage space with corrugated metal siding sits at the northeast end of the house, adjacent to the carport. Deep roof overhangs provide shade during the hottest months.

The cabin's clear roof allows for plenty of natural light and unparalleled views of nature.

A linear gasket serves as an entry to the house, a connection between the two shells, and a division between public and private spaces.

The clients desired a modern, streamlined retreat to escape the city.

The exterior is wrapped in weathering steel that echoes the color of the soil and allows the cabin to blend into its surroundings.

The Perch at sunset.

The Cor-Ten of the Perch picks up on the material language of the site's landscaping (designed by the client).

The steel structure is suspended two feet above the roof of the existing bungalow, supported by four steel columns, one of which screens utility lines running from the Perch to the house below.
