The design blueprint for this project was established earlier. Composition of three volumes - a two-part structure that blends traditional barnhouse aesthetics with contemporary features and creates a living space, and the third volume – a shed. All of them anchored in the pre-existing foundations.

Identification of the most suitable finishing material raised a discussion. Our objective was to uphold the robust architectural form while crafting a home tailored to the inhabitants' needs. Here that meant choosing a material that asks for as minimal maintenance as possible.

After careful deliberation, we settled on Corten steel. Beyond its striking appearance, Corten offers a plethora of benefits, particularly its durability and minimal maintenance needs. This material is also uniquely suited to endure the harsh weather conditions of the project’s location - the Baltic Sea coast. Its weathered finish not only evolves over time but also provides a protective layer, eliminating the need for paint or additional coatings, making it both a practical and aesthetically fitting choice for this project.
