the zinc house is a home designed for a family run business who shaped the metal façade industry. situated in roby conservation area, the project carefully preserves the historic character of the existing home while introducing subtle, modern interventions.
the use of custom zinc and rolled metal panels—sourced through the client’s own industry connections—creates a refined contrast with original brick and timber detailing. these sleek metallic accents speak to a lifetime at the forefront of architectural surfaces.
zinc house is both a personal retreat and a quiet dialogue between tradition and contemporary form.
