This awesome high-end retail project features a prominent Urban Outfitters location, as well as high-end steakhouse Maple & Ash, this new construction project aimed to seamlessly fit in with the historic architecture of the surrounding neighborhood.
The handcrafted, old world aesthetic of waterstruck “Black Select” Morin Brick proved to be a perfect choice for the exterior, accented by a custom black Spec-Mix mortar. Classic architectural details, including some beautiful ornamental metal window surrounds, make this building quite the handsome addition to the State Street corridor.
One of the many reasons we love this brick color is for the super subtle notes of red and brown that peek through every so often. The next time you stop by for a new outfit or bite to eat, make sure to look closely at the masonry!
