A Corrugated Metal Exterior Inspired by Japanese Shibui
- A Seattle house by SHED Architecture + Design is wrapped entirely in corrugated metal, creating a bold, uniform exterior.
- The design embraces Shibui, focusing on restraint, subtlety, and unobtrusive beauty in its material choice.
- Black accents against the silver siding sharpen the building's geometry and create contrast.
- The home balances privacy and light with a north-side orientation and a large rooftop photovoltaic array.
- Sustainability is central, with the metal exterior supporting the home’s net zero ambitions.
- The shed roof slopes to aid water and snow runoff, complementing the industrial yet refined look.
- Generous overhangs provide protection from the weather and shade for the upstairs balcony.
- Concrete site walls guide the approach and anchor the house to its street and alley.
- The design prioritizes a compact footprint, preserving a cherry tree on the lot.
- Photography credit goes to Rafael Soldi; project details include SHED Architecture + Design and YS Built.
