Why does TAITONE recycled brick quite match Shinan District of Qingdao heritage building renovation?
Actually, as the biggest old brick supplier in China since 2006, Taitone recycled red brick for the renovation of German-style architecture in Qingdao's Shinan District since autumn in 2022 is deeply rooted in both historical and cultural significance.
In the heart of Qingdao's Shinan District, German-style architecture stands proudly, showcasing its century-old heritage. These villa gardens, with their iconic red brick walls, have been meticulously maintained to preserve their historical charm.
The villa gardens underwent a significant restoration to enhance their historical appeal and align with sustainable building practices. The designers chose to use TAITONE recycled red brick sourced from old buildings to maintain the authenticity and integrity of the original structures.
Historical Significance
