Shirley Ryan AbilityLab — Burr Ridge, IL

Grey brick is one of our most popular offerings these days, and it’s easy to see why when you look at projects like the Burr Ridge outpatient location of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab! This handsome structure, which opened in 2017, pairs Summit Brick‘s “Concorde” blend with a Brazilian hardwood that has weathered into a similar shade.

By breaking the massing of the commercial building into three parts, and mixing materials on the exterior façade, the 25,000 square foot facility has a smaller visual impact more aligned with its residential, neighborhood setting. We can’t help but love the way the softly tumbled edges of these variegated, slurry-coated bricks compliment the sharp lines of the angled roofline and soaring clerestory windows.
