The equestrian stable is designed with two major approaches: the use of traditional skills and natural materials, the application of large-scale tensioned membrane. The biggest problem to build with bricks is the structure form. A traditional brick building can not achieve the hollowed-out pattern and effects we wanted, so framework structure was added to break the restriction of using bricks as the structural wall, meanwhile the beam and eaves are specially treated.

From the architect. The equestrian stable is designed with two major approaches: the use of traditional skills and natural materials, the application of large-scale tensioned membrane. The biggest problem to build with bricks is the structure form.
