Situated in a leafy suburb in the south-west of Berlin, this house is organised around a south-facing courtyard overlooking a large garden. Enveloped entirely in a brick skin, the house gains a physical solidity reminiscent of the early Modernist houses of Erich Mendelsohn and Mies van der Rohe, especially the latter’s three projects of the late 1920s: Wolf, Esters and Lange. 1994-1996. David Chipperfield Architects.
