Located in East Sussex, the Concrete House was designed as a collaborative effort between RAW Architecture Workshop and Adrian and Megan Corrigal, the homeowners. The solid structure basts a dramatic appearance with its large openings, sleek furniture, and modern surfaces. The project aimed to create a minimalist home, which reflects the lifestyle of its dwellers.
Housing four bedrooms, the building is made from a series of five stepped blocks. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, the home is full of natural light to create a warm and welcoming interior, contrasting the building's straight-cut edges. The Concrete House was constructed using advanced Fiber Reinforced Concrete. The durable material boasts anti-cracking technology developed by Cemex to retain the home's structure.
