Create the facade of your home from $1.500.
The presented image showcases an impressive architectural element — a metal facade portal in the shape of a perfect circle, made of perforated corten steel (with a characteristic rusty-brown shade). This structure serves as a visual boundary between the interior space and the garden, creating a "picture in frame" effect and directing the gaze toward the landscape composition.
The perforation on the metal panel is executed as a geometric pattern of circles of varying diameters, giving the massive structure visual lightness and creating an interesting play of light and shadow. The circular opening in a square frame references traditional elements of Eastern architecture (reminiscent of Chinese moon gates) but in a contemporary interpretation.
The ceiling of the space is finished with wooden panels, which softens the industrial character of the metal structure and creates a warm contrast. Beyond the portal opens a view of a compact garden with elements of vertical greenery, potted palms, and a decorative wall with alternating panels of stone masonry and artificial turf.
This architectural facade treatment technique can be adapted for a private home, using perforated metal panels for zoning spaces, creating private areas, or as decorative elements of fencing. Corten steel requires no additional finishing, develops a noble patina over time, is resistant to atmospheric effects, and gives the facade a contemporary industrial character.
