CLB Architects co-founder Eric Logan has renovated his self-designed home in Jackson, Wyoming, adding a cold-rolled steel gabled roof and a new kitchen.
Logan originally built the home, appropriately titled Logan Pavilion, for his family in 1997.
A shingle roof has been replaced with corrugated steel
Its long, low form and gabled roof echo the hay sheds that populate the rural landscape in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
The new roof is made of corrugated cold-rolled sheet steel that is naturally weathering to an attractive ruddy hue. Deep overhangs shelter the house from sun and snow.
The new kitchen features black and white elements
Logan had always wanted a metal roof for the house, but had originally been thwarted in this plan and forced to adopt a shingle roof. "The house was originally designed to incorporate a metal roof, however that proposal was rejected unanimously by the homeowners association design review committee," Logan told Dezeen.
"When it was time to replace the roof, the demographic makeup of the committee had changed and we were able to receive approval for what was originally intended," he added.
"It only took 20 years!"

When the house was first built two decades ago, it was done on a tight budget and constructed in only four months.
Its kitchen was beginning to show signs of wear and tear, so Logan renovated the room using more robust materials this time around.
