This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Built in the Parisian suburbs, House Cubiste sits between two traditional stone houses. Rather than extending the traditional facade, the property is constructed from three separate volumes clad in Corten steel.
The choice of materials was central to the design – Corten steel, like the surrounding masonry, develops a patina and signs of ageing over time.
