The project received its permit under the Chicago Green Permit program, which recognizes exceptional commitment to sustainable technology. The design retained much of the original brick and wood structure, framing new spaces around the massive, brick bearing walls. Wood-paneled walls and ceilings, flooring, and many pieces of built-in furniture were crafted on-site… - [Self Storage Facilities](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/self-storage-facilities-pj-vj~2709377) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Private Residence, Chicago](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/private-residence-chicago-pj-vj~1107722) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 57 - Description: An intriguing project wish list was presented by the client for this custom single family home: modernist design with a “warm industrial” aesthetic; an ability to open key rooms to the exterior in a dynamic way; and the incorporation of interesting water features. Sullivan, Goulette & Wilson designed a home which thrilled the client with its use of exposed structural steel framing, polished concrete floors, interior brick bearing walls, and steel windows.

I have an enormous amount of reclaimed water struck brick and I was going to veneer one of my basement walls with them. Looking to achieve a look not unlike the project you have on here. Did the brick mason add color/dye to some cement batches? It appears that sections of wall have black or very dark joints. Curious if he used 3 blends. It appears that way to me. Great job! A: Thank you for your comments! This wall is an existing interior masonry bearing wall, constructed with the original building in the 1880s of Chicago common brick. It was covered by furring and gyp board for many years until we exposed it for the new owners. The general contractor washed and tuck-pointed the brick where necessary, but for the most part it was left in the condition we found when we uncovered it. It is a work of art in itself. **Q: Range/Oven** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of Range & Oven is that....Love it! A: Thank you for your question. The range is an Aga - http://www.aga-ranges.com/. **Q: What is the ceiling material?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for your inquiry - the ceiling material is Galvalume corrugated metal panels. **Q: What are the dimensions of the screen porch?** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of the screen porch? A: Thank you for your inquiry - the screened porch is 12'-0" wide by 26'-0" long. **Q: what are your copy right laws in using photos** *(in Photo Questions)* what are your copy right laws in using photos A: Sullivan, Goulette & Wilson Ltd.
