An exterior precedent for sculptural brick massing with curved corners and precision-cast concrete reveals, suited for artist studios or cultural hubs.
- What we like about this project
- A prominent sculptural window box projects entirely out of the monolithic brick plane, casting a stark square shadow.

- contemporary-vernacular
- courtyard
- Geometry
- Asymmetrical composition of stacked and stepped brick volumes featuring a curved left corner, punctuated by isolated square and horizontal window surrounds.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing or anchored red brick masonry wall with custom concrete window surrounds and punched glazing.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with non-structural brick masonry cladding and shear walls.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story massing relative to human height, mediated by a raised concrete base and recessed entry portal.
- Lighting
- Direct bright sunlight casting sharp, deep shadows from protruding window frames onto the textured brick surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, grounded, and tactile, highlighted by earthy brick tones contrasted with crisp concrete details.
- Environmental context
- Urban or suburban context with neighboring buildings visible in the background and a sloping paved street in the foreground.
- Spatial experience
- The facade presents a monolithic brick wall to the street, softened by recessed courtyards, raised landscaped earth, and an integrated sloping tree.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetric balance between solid vertical brick towers and low, horizontal recessed openings.
