exposed brick architecture

Exposed brick buildings have an unmistakable charm, regardless of their aesthetic or function. Whether it’s a dwelling designed by the iconic Mies Van der Rohe or an industrial-style structure re-purposed to become a comfortable home, a modern brick house has innate features that define its character. Reddish brown, rusty, or orange-hued, exposed bricks envelop living spaces in a protective layer of warmth. Apart from the welcoming range of colors that remind of fall, these exterior walls also have a textured surface that adds contrast to a contemporary design. Rough finishes remind of the organic feel of this basic building material, which at the same time becomes the crucial component of these architectural designs.
