Sitting on a plot of 1,000 square meters, the 580-square-meter residence comprises multiple layers and areas: the structure unfolds around a double-height courtyard in a sequence of rooms that proceed from communal to private. Pitsou Kedem Architects designed three key spaces – the central area, the communal area and the external area – which visually intertwine through glass walls and shelving systems. What the Corten House stands out for however, is its external, weathered-steel structure that envelops the house?s perimeter, casting shadows in a chequer board pattern across its internal surfaces.
