Special shapes have an impact on architectural design
November 12, 2021
Designing the new senior living community required Antunovich Associates to navigate multiple national, state, and local building and health codes, as well as U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program.

The traditional way to construct this pattern of bricks would be to layer red stretchers and black headers alternately in each course.

And, in the process, earned the project one of England’s highest honors in architectural design.
