I really like this. Contextual while maintaining a distinct profile, with detailing that breaks up what might otherwise be a sea of brick, this blends into the neighborhood while quietly presiding over a prominent corner. More of this, please.

This has to be the best brick work done since the bolling municipal building in roxbury. This is incredible, especially the depth in that 2nd pic, just wow.
Really, amazing design and work; especially loving the black manganese? brick at the jambs of the less inset windows, just a beatifully slick visual trick!

By far my favorite detail of this project has to be this. The fact that the siding on the upper floors is a continuation of the other surrounding buildings is such a minor, but important detail. I live a few blocks from here and walk by almost every day and can’t help but smile. What a great addition to the neighborhood!
