Exterior, House Building Type, Flat RoofLine, Metal Roof Material, and Metal Siding Material The northwest-facing longer elevation prioritizes larger oxidizing steel surfaces over apertures, allowing for plenty of interior vertical surfaces for the client to test out their sculptures. Since the client built the house themself, it took about four years to construct -- not your typical residential project timeframe. However, this allowed for a patient tracking of the progress of both the construction process and the weathering of the steel, which continues to strengthen with oxidization and furthermore is experienced differently throughout the seasons and varying lighting conditions.
