Redbrick has been a building material used by architects around the world for centuries. Redbrick is versatile. It can be the core element in classic architecture, yet also perfectly capture simplicity and sophistication in modern buildings.

Classic. Sophisticated.

When you think of redbrick, does it remind you of a storied, Ivy League University campus? Harvard University, one of the leading and most well known universities, is known for one of its classic redbrick buildings. These hundred-plus year-old buildings exemplify the prestigious, premiere character of the institution; no words needed. 

Modern. Flow.  

 

Mario Botta is a leading architect bringing redbrick to the forefront of modern design. Take a look at one of his master pieces – The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The strong, symmetrical building in downtown San Francisco is a favourite amongst tourists and locals alike. The detail and mesmerising symmetry add character to the strong personality of the building.

Simple. Intimate.

  

We at MOSAIC have been using redbrick since we began building and have several intimate tucked away properties that feature these warm exteriors. If you’re interested to see how our redbrick stands up to the test of time, I invite you to check out to CORBEAU (Port Moody), HANSDOWNE ROW (Kitsilano), TATTON (Burke Mountain), or NATURE’S WALK (South Surrey).
