Tin House: Metallic Orange Masterpiece of a House in London!

ByMyProperty Life

The Victorian neighborhood the Tin House is located in is one of the last places where you would expect to find a home like it. But that is precisely what you get with this bright orange, metallic residence that has been crafted to enhance privacy while adding a quirky twist to the lot. Since this particular area of London is crowded with homes, Henning Stummel Architects decided to craft a lovely courtyard surrounded by pavilions that contain the house itself. Each orange structure acts as a standalone building while seamlessly integrating with the one next to it.

The placement of the buildings also improves acoustic and aesthetic appeal of the house and the courtyard with calm pool at its heart offers a great refuge from all the urban rush of London. With a standing seam metal cladding, you not only have a unique home, but one that is easy-to-maintain and trendy. On the inside, this uniqueness is taken to a whole different level with pyramidal plastered ceilings and skylights that usher in ample natural light and cool air on hot days. It is a masterpiece that promotes healthy, planet-friendly lifestyle!

  • Add/Subtract House

    The Add/Subtract House is derived from the stereotomic operation of subtracting from and adding to a solid volume to enable specific programmatic relationships and daylight conditions. Sited on a typical 50’x150’ single-family residential lot in Austin, Texas, the design questions the standard house massing and arrangement by stretching along the length of the lot. Rather than single the dichotomy of front yard and backyard, the design establishes smaller courtyards, hardscapes and softscapes at various scales to relate to individual rooms. The external material palette (standing seam metal, tongue & groove wood paneling, and stucco) is applied to reinforce the distribution of individual program elements. Each material is composed into folding planes which capture space and define zones throughout the house. Every room in the house benefits from natural light from at least two sides as daylight is modulated throughout, offsetting the need for electric light during daylight hours and allowing occupants to more directly track seasonal and daily patterns.
