Castlecrag House 2

Porebski Architects, Castlecarg House 2. The materials chosen for the house are ones we enjoy to use. Stone for the terraced planter boxes to anchor the house to the landscape, while the face concrete brick and off form concrete show off the structural tectonics of the house in a simple way and these require precise crafting to get it right. The timber provides a natural contrast and combines well with the copper elements while the detailing adds complexity against the heavy masonry. It is also a joy to make these materials feel light. photo by Justin Alexander
