The most sustainable buildings aren't the ones that generate the most energy, they're the ones that need the least.

The path to net zero starts with designing buildings that stay cooler, use less energy, and work with their environment instead of against it.

That's why architects spend so much time thinking about sunlight, shading, orientation, and the materials that shape a building's exterior. Every decision affects how a building performs for decades to come.

Materials like Agrob Buchtal terracotta cladding can help manage solar heat gain while adding depth, texture, and character to a facade. It's a reminder that sustainability isn't always found in the latest technology. Sometimes it's built into the architecture itself.

Thoughtful design, enduring materials, better performing buildings.

A new addition to the Upper West Side, designed as if it's always belonged.

At the corner of 84th Street and Broadway, The Henry carries forward the neighborhood's tradition of grand residential architecture while adding a new chapter to one of New York City's most iconic streetscapes.

Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), the 18-story tower draws inspiration from the classic apartments that define the Upper West Side. Brick was a key part of that vision, helping the building feel rooted in its surroundings through a palette and texture reminiscent of the neighborhood's celebrated pre-war architecture.

The result is a building that feels both timeless and contemporary, proving that thoughtful design and enduring materials can help new construction blend seamlessly into the character of a historic city.

The best maintenance plan is not needing one.

Brick has been trusted for centuries because it simply lasts.

No repainting. No peeling. No rot. No termites. Just an exterior designed to look great and perform for decades.

It's one of the few materials homeowners may never have to touch again.

Some of the most memorable buildings on a college campus are the ones students call home.

Opened in Fall 2025, McCasland Hall was designed to enhance the first year student experience at the The University of Oklahoma. The new residence hall provides a welcoming place for students to live, learn, and build community during their first year on campus.

A custom red brick mingle helps tie the building to OU's established architectural character, creating a residence hall that feels at home on campus from day one.

It's a great example of why colleges and universities continue to choose brick. Beyond durability and longevity, brick helps create a cohesive campus identity and a sense of place that can be felt across generations of students.

A new chapter for downtown Fort Worth, built in brick.

The Texas A&M University new Law and Education Building is more than a home for classrooms, offices, and a new law library. The nine-story building serves as the academic anchor of the future Texas A&M University School of Law Fort Worth campus and the growing Switchyard Innovation District.

Manufactured at Acme Brick's Denton, Texas plant, approximately 361,000 Quorum blend brick help define the building's exterior. The textured blend of burgundy and gray brings warmth, depth, and a sense of permanence to a project designed to shape Fort Worth's future.

As the first completed building on the new campus, the Law and Education Building reflects how timeless materials can support forward-looking design.
