It’s Just Brick… In a Way You’ve Never Seen

This Brick House Uses One Material to Do Everything. At first, it looks simple. Just brick. But this house uses brick for much more than walls.

The Brick House by Studio VDGA turns a common material into structure, filter, shade, and privacy.

Instead of opening everything directly, the house controls light, airflow, and views through brick screens and layered spaces.

A central courtyard brings in light and ventilation, while the brick envelope keeps the interiors protected and comfortable.

This is not just a brick house. It’s a house where one material defines almost everything.

  • Music Box Residence

    The Music Box Residence was designed around the intimate and communal qualities of music and family. The steep lot, with views towards Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier dictated a multi-level structure. On the lowest level, surrounded by concrete walls, resides the timpani rehearsal room. The husband, a member of the Oregon Symphony, required space and acoustic separation for practice. On the main level sits the piano studio where the wife’s students come to learn and play. Her studio opens onto the main living room and covered outdoor living area for recitals and parties. The upper level houses the couple’s children, parents, and guests. Continue up and an electronic roof hatch pivots open, revealing a rooftop deck, complete with commanding views of forest park, the city and mountains beyond. The “U” shaped plan has large volumes on both sides with a glassy two-story entry space in the middle. A long bridge, with a bamboo forest below, leads from the sidewalk to the main entry. The exterior, clad in black stained siding; reminiscent of “shosugi ban,” or charred wood, pays homage to their Japanese ancestry.
