Revolution Road: An Architect-Designed Compound in Shanghai

by Published: January 27, 2014

Confession: We’ve been hesitant at Remodelista to delve into the design scene in China; it’s unknown territory for us. But we’ve been quietly bookmarking projects that speak to us (and make us want to get on a plane). First up: a compelling whitewashed brick compound in Shanghai by KUU Architects, a design practice run by Kok-Meng Tan and Satoko Saeki.
