2996 West 11th / Randy Bens Architect | ArchDaily

The building addresses its long public frontage with a punctuated white brick facade.  The brick is handled two ways on this facade.  It forms a strong base with planes that extend into the landscape defining entries and outdoor spaces.  The upper brick plane floats above delicate corner glazed windows, defining the upper deck and adding visual tension. The planes fly past the dark cedar walls, and impart movement to the facade that we felt was appropriate for its corner lot setting.
