Description:

The Triangle Brick Company Headquarters is located where brick was once manufactured from clay extracted directly from the site. This new facility is the North American base of operations for the German company Röben Tonbaustoffe, also a brick manufacturer. The project consists of corporate offices and support spaces, a product Design Center, and a uniquely landscaped brick garden. The site and buildings are organized around a brick wall extending through the lobby and well out into the site. As the wall moves from outside to inside, it transforms from low seat walls and planters to become the principal architectural feature of the building interior.
