How sweet is this reclaimed Chicago common brick project? We teamed up with SPACE Architects + Planners to add a touch of history to this gut rehab endeavor in Andersonville.
Though much of the exterior and façade of the original building were deemed unsalvageable, its “good bones” formed the basis for the modern work in progress you see here. These “Sand Buff” reclaimed bricks were carefully chosen for the rear of the new design from a variety of batches in our yard. We love the way the selection of salvaged material evokes the property’s heritage and adds warmth to this beautiful new backyard!
Since we reclaim brick from demolition sites all over the Chicagoland area, no two batches are exactly alike. The variety is part of the appeal for this material, but we always invite homeowners, architects, and developers to hand-pick their pallets to ensure they’re totally satisfied. We provided samples of two different batches to the owner of this project, allowing him to pick his perfect product. Looking at these pictures, it definitely feels like the made the right choice!
