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

ByMyProperty Life

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.

    Martha’s Vineyard is home to the single largest concentration of our residential work and some of our earliest projects, including the Polly Hill Arboretum. Chilmark House, like many of these commissions, is immersed in the landscape and continually reconnects its inhabitants with the surrounding woods, pools of sunlight and nearby Vineyard Sound. Entire walls and windows are designed to vanish and erase boundaries between indoors and outdoors. We were guided in the earliest phase of the project by the couple’s wish for distinct public and private spaces and the site’s topography. The central public space—the living and dining areas–plus a sitting room in the guest wing, are oriented toward a kind of natural sun-filled well on the house’s south side. Interior load-bearing elliptical columns allow sliding doors and windows to make large openings to the south in the exterior walls. Opposite, on the north side, sliding windows create large gaps in the exterior, connecting the living room and kitchen directly to the woods and waters of the sound. Bedrooms are on the wooded edges, on the east and west sides. A roof deck, terrace and side decks create outdoor living spaces. Shortly after completion of this project, the couple asked us to begin designing a guesthouse nearby as their family continued to grow.

  • Coburg House

    Having lovingly restored the front of this Californian Bungalow, our clients were seeking help to reinvent the back of the home. The brief was to create a functional, beautiful and bright abode for their family. We achieved this with a combination of re-purposing the existing spaces and adding a small extension to the back and side. We added a new Kitchen, Bathroom, Laundry and Living space, all with a strong connection to the outdoors. We played with the ceiling forms to create spaces within the overall space, while soft natural light is introduced into the depths of the home with skylights. We also paid homage to the simple heritage details of the era by referencing the overall form and textures of the old Californian Bungalow.
