Wernerfield uses concrete and weathered steel to create Texas home

This video shows Dallas-based studio Wernerfield's recently completed lakefront dwelling that features concrete and glass volumes and a treehouse clad in rusted steel.
Called CCR1 Residence, the rectilinear house is located in a rural area about 60 miles southeast of Dallas. It is situated on a wooded site that sits along Cedar Creek Reservoir, which is popular recreational area and weekend getaway for city dwellers.
"The goal of the design was to provide an artful and low-maintenance retreat that would blend in with the site," said Wernerfield, a multidisciplinary firm established in 2006 by architects Braxton D Warner and Paul D Field.
"A slender floor plan design allowed for the buildings to be woven carefully through the dense forest of pine trees that were planned by the owner on the property as a child."
Encompassing 4,690 square feet (435 square metres), the project consists of a main home, guest pavilion and storage barn.
The architects also designed other features for the property, such as a two-storey, freestanding structure referred to as a treehouse. Its exterior walls are made of weathered steel, and a band of glass on the top level provides views of the scenic property.
The material palette for the entire project consists of concrete, steel, teak and glass.

so, I'm not going to say this lightly, this is probably the most beautiful home I have ever seen. And I've seen all seasons of grand designs

[@maromaro1909]

[@rydellgarcia]

gotta agree... ive seen most all of designs, massive houses or mansions.. but this house right here hits different.

[@misterosc]

@Nick FL I've seen it, it's also one of my favourites but I don't seet as liveable it feels to me like a showroom space or a lobby

[@AdityaRajput-pj4yg]

truly mesmerizing

[@martiansurgery]

with that music it seems like the owner is keeping human prisoners in the basement

[@ericsimonson8540]

Simple does not mean easy...or soon.
Design is a simple box...

[@MediaWatchDawg]

Awesome! Now, how much to get it OUT of Texas?
o.0

[@maromaro1909]

there is something SO MUCH DEPRESSIVE IN THIS HOUSE, especially when it gets dark and you appear as an exponent in a showcase for evil eyes watching you from surrounding darkness ... a pure horror case.

The honesty of raw concrete seldom translates into beauty, especially when used to this extent. It could have been more artistically formed to better reflect the natural setting. How appealing is a lakefront warehouse? Not very.
