Corrugated Steel Retreat in North Carolina

A while back I featured a home that use corrugated steel in its construction. Here's another. Built by American psychology professors Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi, the Zachary House is a modernist riff on rural American architecture: dogtrot-meets-shotgun-shack.

"We had for many years been fascinated (New Zealand's) South Island's corrugated-iron buildings such as woolsheds and the teeny old gold-fields church beside the Vulcan Hotel in St Bathans. We also loved the look of modern-built corrugated-iron buildings and took hundreds of photos of "wrinkly tin" structures all over Central Otago. We were oddly obsessed with them, really."
