Over the course of a few years, we had the pleasure of contributing brick to four new construction single-family homes built on North Lakewood Ave in Chicago.
Farthest to the north (#36) was a project designed by BBA Architects, featuring gorgeous “Black Select” waterstruck Morin Brick. Custom jack arch details lend a beautiful sense of history to this new townhome. Built by MC Construction Group, Link Masonry, & McNaughton Development.
The two homes to the south (#30 and #34) were both the work of SGW Architects and GVP Development. The first made use of a classic, flashed red brick from Watsontown Brick known as “Franklin.” The second went with “Bennington B&B,” a legacy color once made in Vermont (now part of Morin Brick). Both residences used these traditional molded products as face brick, with cost-effective, color comparable Interstate Brick on the sides and rear.
The last endeavor (#28) was a super-cool modern design by the architect Seth Romig. We supplied Interstate‘s long-format “Emperor” size brick in the enduringly popular “Platinum” grey color for this sleek contemporary home. Matching Atlas-sized structural bricks were used on the garage. Built by Professional Masonry and BAK Homes.
