Corten Steel Pavilion Camouflaged in the Forest | Guest House Pavilion 1401

Discover Guest House Pavilion 1401, a stunning forest retreat on Spain’s Costa Brava designed by Nordest Arquitectura. Nestled in a quiet clearing, this corten steel pavilion seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, offering an open-concept living and bedroom space, a sculptural entry, and immersive views of the forest. The east, south, and west facades feature floor-to-ceiling glazing with sliding corten steel lattices for solar protection, while the north facade provides controlled openings for the bathroom and entrance staircase. A basement takes advantage of the sloped terrain, adding a unique sculptural dimension to the pavilion. Every detail maximizes connection with nature, creating a serene retreat for contemplation and relaxation.

  • Slatted Beach Retreat

    Thrilled with the beach town location of their summer house, but not with its loud ’90s-era architecture, a family approached Blue Truck Studio with a directive — tone it down. What they had: a house with wild geometry, such as octagon-shaped rooms and triangular spaces. What they wanted: a Sea Ranch aesthetic of simple forms. Blue Truck Studio created an all-new interior of calm, open spaces that flowed easily into one another. For the exterior, the firm reconfigured windows as well as the siding, which wrapped around the house to simplify its form and provide privacy. A pivot door and two large slider doors invite ample light inside while a driveway turned soccer pitch and slatted outdoor shower for hosing off after a trip to the beach reflect the family’s love of recreation and the outdoors.
