Corten House II
photography by Ivo Tavares
Lighting at Corten House, Project by HPA, 2025
A complex and elegant play of depth where lighting design meets industrial texture. The warm, precise glow of the suspended luminaires sublimely contrasts with the cool dusk reflections on the glass and the intricate perforated Corten steel mesh.
About this photograph
The boundary between interior and exterior dissolves into a hypnotic web of reflections, light, and materiality. Photographed in 2025 at Casa Corten — a project by the atelier HPA —, this image focuses on the sophistication of the details that make up the environment, revealing how the building's metallic "skin" dialogues with the interior design.
The focal point is on the minimalist elegance of the cone-shaped pendant lamps. Their warm, directed beam of light creates small oases of visual comfort, which stand in direct contrast to the cool blue tones of twilight reflected in the large glass panels. This interplay of color temperatures imbues the image with a deeply intimate and cinematic atmosphere.
As a backdrop, the architectural signature of the project asserts itself: the perforated Corten steel mesh. This lacy screen, slightly blurred by the depth of field, creates an optical illusion and a rigorous geometric pattern that embraces the entire composition. It is an incredibly rich work in visual layers, perfect for bringing a touch of mystery, contemporary luxury, and color to any wall.
