Beautiful Houses That Give Metal Siding A Fair Chance To Look Spectacular
Not many houses are clad in metal panels and stand out. They have a distinctive, often industrial, aesthetic. Each project is unique and special, with some houses featuring obvious metal exteriors while others have more inconspicuous designs.
Weathering steel is another variation that adds character to a house.
Pavilion house in Bellbrae, Australia
This project was completed by studio Wiesebrock Architecture in Bellbrae, Australia. It includes two separate pavilions connected by a shared outdoor deck. Both pavilions have similar designs and dimensions, with a classic gable roof and a clean aesthetic.
What stands out is that both structures have corrugated metal siding. This gives them an industrial aesthetic and over time, the panels will change color and get a matte finish. The house will gain character and blend in more easily as time passes.
A home in Australia was remodeled and expanded, keeping the front intact to preserve its original charm. The addition was built at the back with a clean and minimalistic aesthetic.
The exterior is clad in black metal siding, contrasting with the bright, airy interior and surrounding greenery. Large windows and openings break the simplicity of the design. Studiofour completed this project.
This home in Queenstown, New Zealand has a stunning view of Lake Wakatipu. It was built by Condon Scott Architects on a steep site, making the project challenging but rewarding.
Capitalizing on the views and creating a protected outdoor area were key goals of this project. The architects had to consider height restrictions while designing the house. To achieve a contemporary look that complements the surroundings, they used black metal and wood cladding.
This design also includes a writer’s studio wrapped in metal.
This writer’s studio, designed and built by New Frontier Tiny Homes for Cornelia Funke, exudes charm and character. Its small size adds to its uniqueness and appeal.
The design is interesting, especially the weathered metal panels used for the exterior. The panels are placed vertically on one side and horizontally on the other, adding another detail to the design. The wooden trim, cantilevered deck, and pergola are made of cedar and allow the cozy interior to leak outside.
A Mountain home clad in metal and stucco
Mountain homes and cabins, typically covered in wood or constructed with logs, exude a distinct rustic charm. However, the luxurious mountain getaway located in Aspen, USA, breaks away from this convention. Crafted with great attention to detail, this unique retreat showcases the innovative design and craftsmanship of Rowland+Broughton Architecture.
The building’s exterior is covered in champagne-colored metal siding, which adds a warm and timeless touch to the design. Large glass surfaces open up the interior living areas, providing magnificent views of the mountains and surrounding landscape.
A 19th century Cotswolds cottage in the UK has received a stunning new extension. The existing stone cottage has a traditional gable roof and design. The extension replicates these elements, including a similar roof and proportions, but is clad in corrugated metal panels.
This project was done by studio Eastabrook Architects. The structure is clad in metal, inspired by traditional sheds and structures in the area. Using this material minimizes the visual impact of the new addition on the surroundings.
A folded metal house in Melbourne.
Another cool project that uses corrugated metal panels is this unusual house from Melbourne. Designed by studio Tandem, it has a non-traditional aesthetic.
What stands out is the facades’ undulating, curved shape with rounded corners. The house is clad in folded metal panels, emphasizing its unique appearance. These design choices maximize the available space by responding to the irregular shape of the site.
This is a building in Malmö, Sweden. It’s an extension added to a dilapidated freight depot and converted into a food market. This project was done by studio Wingårdh.
The extension to the old building utilized Corten steel panels for the exterior, giving it a new vibe while still mimicking the gable roof and proportions of the original structure.
This holiday home shares similarities with traditional structures like sheds and barns. It has a classic and timeless look with its gable roof and flat walls.
As you approach, a modern-industrial style emerges, defined by the corrugated metal that covers the building’s exterior. This holiday home, designed by studio Rural Design, is situated on a steep hillside on Scotland’s Isle of Skye and serves as a year-round rental. The corrugated metal was chosen for its affordability and practicality, while also providing a unique aesthetic.
Every other day you come across a cabin that isn’t made of wood or doesn’t have a gable roof design. This one is unique in those aspects and, moreover, features an unusual shape that gives it a futuristic look.
The pill-shaped cabin in Barragorang Valley, designed by studio Benn + Penna, serves as an off-grid addition to an existing weekend retreat. Comprising three structures, the two original pavilions constructed in 1993 house the sleeping and living areas, while the new corrugated metal-clad addition features a reading room with a small covered veranda.
The cabin is raised on silts, giving it a boxy metal house appearance.
Certain restrictions can make it challenging to build one’s dream home on a small plot. However, these limitations can also inspire architects to be creative and come up with unique solutions. The Lookout, a compact house built by studio Hybrid in Seattle, is a great example of this.
The last spot on a popular site is occupied by it. Three other connected townhouses take up the remaining space. Due to the limited and narrow land, there was no space for a house and a parking area. As a solution, the architects decided to lift the house off the ground and build it on stilts, creating space for a parking area underneath.
The building features white metal siding and a clean, minimalistic design.
