# Fanned Building Facades 'Qorveh House' Features a Facade Inspired by Fanned Cards By Joey Haar | Published 2018-02-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qorveh-house References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/888980/qorveh-house-rena-design) Qorveh House, a [mixed-use building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-river-north) located outside of Iran's Kurdistan province, does a good job of differentiating itself from the surrounding buildings. It looks to shuffle up the neighborhood's relatively uniform building designs, and it does so with a form factor directly inspired by shuffling. Though Qorveh House has a primarily [brick facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-1), it manages to make those solid materials look like thin cards in a playing card deck. The [horizontal brick strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terracotta-breath) that run across the front facade of the home gradually fan inward, much in the same way as a card sharp or poker play fans their cards during a game. The illusion is both attractive and practical, as it adds a degree of dynamism to the interior space. Image Credit: Reza Najafian, M.H.
