Large bricks can be the perfect choice for huge commercial projects like this one. For Advocate, A “Norman” size brick was selected to save labor, but also have a lower, more streamlined height profile. The proportions of a Norman brick were more attractive to the design team that the “utility” size (4x4x12) brick.
Note the unique detailing where a shadow is created by pulling specific bricks forward approximately 1/2″ proud of the facade.
