If you haven’t seen it yet, this galvanized metal cladding house is a beautiful example of a modern house that is built on budget. The simple cube-shape maximizes the square footage and function on a minimal budget. Designed by Substance Architecture for a family looking to downsize, the house features a simple galvanized metal tube for the interior wrapping, its two ends feature floor to ceiling glass walls that capture a view of a pond at one end and the meadow, in this 4 acre pastoral site, at the other end.
Two glass walls on its facades on the metal wall sides, do not only glow beautifully at nights but also create a passive solar house when their designs are combined with the house’s orientation. The Farmhouse cottage style home features an open plan interior with wood flooring and double height ceiling for the living room, this bright and airy interior is complemented with a beautiful fireplace.
