This concrete family home in Lewes, England, was designed by local Architecture and interior design studio Raw Architecture Workshop. The project exposes the soft side of the concrete whole, guiding the viewer through an open family home filled with natural light, medieval furniture, art, and lush interior greenery.
The raw surfaces of concrete walls, steel industrial fittings, leather antiques, and personal treasures change in colour and contrast depending on light levels, adding depth and texture to their surroundings.Concrete House is the first building in the world to be built of advanced Fibre Reinforced Concrete, a durable anti-cracking material developed by Cemex and tested for thermal and structural properties by the University of Zurich.The concrete’s fibre composition means it does not require reinforced steel bars to strengthen or hold the structure, making it the first concrete building in the world to be built without rebars in the walls.
