Steel House
Steel House in Lubbock, Texas, 1974
A sculpture as well as dwelling, Steel House is the stuff of legends in Lubbock, where generations of students trek 15 miles east of the campus to discover the vision and obsession of late Texas Tech architecture professor Robert Bruno. Dramatically sited upon a ridge overlooking Lake Ransom Canyon, the Steel House, Bruno’s magnum opus, was fabricated over a 35 year-period. Made from Corten steel, the Brutalist spaceship of a home tops the scales at 110 tons, more than a Boeing 757.
