This Fulton Market project kicked off when the architect came into our showroom looking for a dark, smooth brick… but left with a tumbled, bulging distorted red brick from Ragland Clay Products.
Deciding to make the new construction apartment tower look like an old warehouse with a glass structure on top, the architect incorporated this “English Clinker” brick into the exterior and interior of the building’s lower floors.
Common amenity areas of the building, including the lobby, reservable office spaces, and resident-only bar, show off the unique old-world look of this beautiful brick. Above the bartop, the interior design team pulled the heads of the brick out from the face of the wall to create a gorgeous pattern.
We also supplied screens for the building’s workout room. See here!

Just a couple years later, the owners of a nearby commercial property at 1219 W Lake liked the brick on 180 N Ada so much, that they sought out the exact same brick! Vero Design Build pulled off a beautiful remodeling of this lovely little building, now available for lease.
