Brick Wall House \ 123DV architecture

Designed by 123DV architecture, this house is the result of the exceptional conditions of the context. It is squeezed between a five story apartment block and a semi classical house with a gabled roof. An abstract wall guarantees privacy towards the neighbouring apartment.

The stacking of blocks is an abstract metaphor for the layered composition of the gabled roof house. Bricks for the facade are used so the house blends in with both surrounding buildings.
