1.云南安宁红砖房——Z宅（建成）
昆明
A site-responsive architectural composition combining red brick massing, raw exposed concrete, and integrated landscape elements like mature trees.
- What we like about this project
- Existing mature trees pass directly through openings in the concrete roof overhang of the outdoor walkway.

- Geometry
- Multi-paneled layout capturing an exterior hillside approach, a raw concrete interior space with skylight and slit window, a double-height framed interior view, and an exterior covered walkway integrating existing trees.
- Facade system
- Exposed red brick masonry walls paired with concrete structural frames and large glazed openings.
- Structural guess
- Cast-in-place concrete post-and-beam frame with load-bearing brick infill.
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story residential or institutional scale with intimate walkway corridors and expansive double-height framed views.
- Lighting
- Direct, clear daylight casting sharp shadows and highlighting rough board-formed concrete textures and red brick facades.
- Atmosphere
- Grounded, quiet, and intimately connected to the surrounding natural forest canopy.
- Environmental context
- Sloped, heavily wooded hillside setting surrounded by mature eucalyptus and leafy growth.
- Spatial experience
- Movement flows between enclosed raw concrete chambers, open-air covered walkways wrapping around existing trees, and stepped red brick volumes nestled in the sloped landscape.
- Composition rhythm
- Rhythmic structural columns and horizontal window bands pacing the interior spaces and exterior pathways.
- Style reading
- Contemporary brutalist regionalism
