Corten House III
photography by Ivo Tavares
Corten House at Night, an HPA project, 2025
A radiant retreat that reposes in perfect harmony with the landscape. Captured in the tranquility of twilight, this panoramic view reveals how the full transparency of its glass expanses and the camouflage of the green roof unite the sophistication of the interior design with the vastness of the surrounding nature.
About this photograph
Nestled into the topography and embraced by vegetation, this contemporary refuge masterfully merges with the horizon. Captured in 2025 at Casa Corten — a notable project signed by the studio HPA — this nocturnal perspective reveals the deepest essence of the work: absolute respect and symbiosis with the place that hosts it.
The roof slab, inhabited by a wild roof, acts as an organic extension of the terrain itself, almost invisible in the landscape. Below this telluric line, the minimalist Corten steel structure frames the impressive glass panels that dissolve the house's physical barriers. The warm and inviting light flooding the living and dining room creates a "magic box" effect, where domestic comfort directly contrasts with the cool serenity of the blue hour.
The natural framing distills pure poetry. The rustic trees in the foreground anchor the composition, while the gaze is inevitably drawn through the house's transparency towards the background. Further afield, the dramatic silhouette of the mountain under the late afternoon sky reminds us of the grandeur of the setting. A photographic piece of exceptional depth, perfect for spaces seeking to bring balance between architectural modernity and the natural world.
