Bell Residence
I'm dreaming of a white brickhouse... just like this single family residence in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood!
Built using one-of-a-kind, eternally elusive "Silver Fox" reclaimed brick, this modern home feels perfectly matched to its 19th-century neighbors thanks to the rustic, tumbled edges of its vintage masonry. Dents, scratches, smudges of grey, and occasional bits of paint reveal themselves when you look close — irreplicable details that pay homage to the many years these bricks lived through before being repurposed here. Classic design elements, like soldier courses above the windows and a corbeled chimney around the side, further obfuscate the relatively recent construction date.
Silver Fox is one of our most sought-after colors, but due to high demand and limited supply, we can't ever guarantee it’s going to be available for every project seeking to use it. Beautiful, rarely spotted, difficult to secure… how do you think it earned its namesake? These property owners wisely selected an alternate material in case availability issues arose. Luckily for them, an adequately-sized batch came up for grabs just in time. Good things come to those who wait (and those who sign a purchase order in advance so we can act quickly when the timing is right)!
