The plan is based on an analysis of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s unbuilt Brick Country House (1924), reinterpreted according to program, structure, and site. An improved version of the prefabricated Furniture House system was employed. In previous “Furniture House” modular units, only the back face was accountable for structure, but this time by reinforcing the corners of the structural plywood back and side walls with triangular wood pieces, each furniture units was able to bear X and Y directional lateral forces so there was more freedom to arrange the units.
