This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This private house in Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects was built 1994–1996. 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.
