Perforated steel, photovoltaic glass, board-formed concrete made from recycled materials, Swedish army snow camouflage fabric: It seems architecture firm Cigolle X Coleman spent months in the archives of a materials library to weave together this unnamed Southern California private residence.
In this video from Herman Miller's POV series, principal Kim Coleman explains the importance of durability under SoCal's harsh sun, why Cigolle X Coleman has shifted away from using wood, and the effects they can achieve with an interplay of materials, some of them quite uncommon.
