Each time I'm designing elevations I find myself returning to images of this building. The variety, detail and depth achieved in this project is incredible. Not to mention its respectful contextual integration between several existing heritage buildings.

Brilliant.

I think I have to work for these guys, they have some lessons to teach me.

Lambert LEED Home, adaptive re-use, 2008-2010

Extensive Blog documenting all aspects of the LEED project:
http://lambertleedhome.blogspot.com/

This project features the adaptive re-use of an existing brick home from the 1920s. Much has changed technically (electric wiring, better insulation, etc.) since the home was initially built, but due to sound construction with brick masonry, it made sense to re-use the brick structure during the extensive renovation of this house.

Brick Glazing Samples

I'm working on a project where I've designed embossed images in the surface of glazed bricks. This is my preliminary glazing sample work (on 1/3rd scale mini-bricks).

Every time I see this project, I remember why I'm learning to build buildings.

There is no facade/exterior on this project; the space was squeezed between two existing buildings on a shard of land, the entry is through one of those buildings.

Brick Corner Window Detail

Architect:?
Image Source:Brick Construction Manual

I'm sorry, I don't have the name of the architect for this project. I'm more interested in how the corner window was structurally delt with.

The Brick Construction Manual is the single most complete book I've come across that deals both with design and construction using brick masonry. Check your local architecture school library.
