Corten Facade: Country House with Cantilevered Volume and Integrated Pool

#8496. Corten Facade: Country House with Cantilevered Volume and Integrated Pool

The presented image showcases an expressive example of contemporary architecture with prominent use of Corten steel cladding on the facade. The house features clean geometric forms with a horizontal composition consisting of two main volumes. The upper volume, clad in warm red-brown Corten steel panels, creates a striking contrast with the darker lower level.

The facade is characterized by a minimalist approach with evenly distributed panels creating a rhythmic texture. Large panoramic windows on the upper floor and the cantilevered glass living room extension over the pool demonstrate a balance between privacy and openness toward the natural surroundings. Solar collectors installed on the roof indicate attention to the building's energy efficiency.

A particularly interesting solution is the integration of the rectangular open pool, which serves as both a functional and visual element of the composition. The terrace with loungers and the pool complement the architectural concept, creating a smooth transition between interior and exterior spaces.

When designing your own facade, several techniques from this building can be adopted: using contrasting materials for different volumes of the building, applying natural materials that age gracefully over time (like Corten steel with its characteristic patina), clear zoning through architectural volumes, and creating terraces that visually extend the interior space of the house.
