ReNa Design’s Qorveh House with Rhythmic Brick Facade in Iran
Tehran based practice, ReNa Design has completed Qorveh House in the City of Qorveh in the west of Iran. Led by architect Reza Najafian, ReNa Design used rhythmic method of brick to design and construct the facade of the Qorveh House.
Text description by the architects. Qorveh house is located 90 km from the center of Kurdistan province in Iran. Given the client desires, the house is designed in two separate units; a duplex residential unit and a multi-purpose private living and working suite.
Regional studies and analysis on the typology and morphology of adjacent neighborhood in the new urban context, resulted in the production of two-dimensional graphics with no architectural value. Efforts have been devoted to exhibit the façade of this project as a sculptural mass made of enduring and authentic materials.
The rhythmic use of brick as a genuine and old material crafts a fascinating harmony, which through a combination of today’s aesthetics and forms results in a masterpiece with advanced technical details.
