Iwan Baan

“Evolution from prototype of Chinese courtyard house, The brick house establish a good relationship with the surrounding environment especially the big lake in the north. The red bricks produced in the neighbor fields were used as main structure & construction materials in the region were introduced as main construction material for this project, so the local construction workers know very clear the idea of building in their familiar way.

The interesting geometric pattern of brick facade reflects the opening logic of elevation. Since all materials & workers are from & close to the site, low budget is the result of this regional solution. Client of brick house, a famous poet in China dived himself into whole process, he worked together with the architect.”
