vari architects 几里建筑

Based in Chongqing, vari architects develops creative workspaces and cultural pavilions marked by sharp tectonic contrasts, where cantilevered concrete structures and luminous glazed bridges articulate the tension between historic masonry and modern transparent inserts. This work offers a strong reference when detailing light-capturing ceiling cutouts around mature site trees or when designing glazed circulation bridges that cleanly span the void between aged brick facades and contemporary structural cores.

Curved perforated brick facade with deep punctures and courtyards by vari architects.

安仁酒店群1

重庆

A hospitality exterior precedent for curved, double-skin perforated brick facades that filter light and frame courtyards along a street edge.

What we like about this project
Large rectilinear window punctures contrast sharply against the sweeping curves of the small-format brick screens.

Geometry
Curvilinear massing features undulating double-skin brick walls with staggered openings and indented courtyards.
Facade system
Double-skin perforated brick screen wall with glazed punctures.
Structural guess
Reinforced concrete frame with non-structural masonry screen walls.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled street frontage; two-story curved volumes.
Lighting
High-contrast daylight with strong shadows cast across the textured brick surfaces.
Atmosphere
Monolithic yet porous, blending tactile brick texture with luminous shadow patterns.
Environmental context
Urban sidewalk edge with surrounding low-rise context under a dramatic cloudy sky.
Spatial experience
Approaching from the sidewalk, the permeable brick screen creates shifting shadow play and filters views into deep courtyards.
Composition rhythm
Repeating stretcher-bond masonry units create a dense horizontal tectonic grid.
