Inspired by the time-honored tradition of local brick makers, Atelier Zhanglei has designed this gorgeous modern brick home in Nanjing, China. True to tradition, this wonderful home design incorporates brick, but uses it in new, innovative ways. Produced in neighboring fields the red brick is the main characteristic of this home’s facade, but the architect has featured it in an interesting, geometric pattern of raised bricks and void spaces that permit sunlight to permeate the exterior walls. The home’s courtyard serves to connect modern architecture to nature. Inside, modern minimalist interiors boast simple yet luxurious finishes, while floor-to-ceiling windows enhance the home’s sense of space. Atelier Zhanglei
