El Dorado

Based in Kansas City, El Dorado constructs commercial and community compounds characterized by seamlessly wrapped gabled pavilions, corrugated metal volumes floating over dissolved corner glazing, and porous indoor-outdoor thresholds. This portfolio provides a focused reference when detailing continuous metal cladding systems, specifying louvered shading canopies above public plazas, or balancing rigid pavilion geometries with fluid landscape pathways.

An exterior dusk precedent showcasing a corrugated metal gable pavilion with expansive corner glazing resting on a heavy stone base in a rural setting.

What we like about this project
The corner glazing drops away entirely at the lower level, making the heavy corrugated metal gable appear to float above the illuminated interior.

Geometry
Asymmetrical gable volume with a steep roof pitch, paired with a lower stone annex volume in the background, set upon a raised dry-stack stone terrace.
Facade system
Vertical corrugated metal panel cladding over timber or steel frame, wrapping seamlessly up to the gable peak.
Structural guess
Timber or light-gauge steel framing over a masonry and stone foundation.
Spatial scale
Two-story residential pavilion scale with an expansive ground-floor opening facing the terrace.
Lighting
Twilight setting with warm interior artificial glow contrasting against cool ambient blue hour exterior sky and dark landscape.
Atmosphere
Serene and inviting, with the warm interior glowing like a lantern in the quiet rural night.
Environmental context
Rural meadow or clearing surrounded by mature trees under a darkening dusk sky.
Spatial experience
The illuminated double-height interior glows through large corner glazing, drawing the eye from the dark rural landscape into a warm domestic volume.
Composition rhythm
Vertical corrugated ribs establish a fine facade texture balanced by the heavy horizontal strata of the stone terrace.
