This is a great example of how to successfully work out challenges of mimmicking a super thick load bearing masonry facade. Understandably not possible anymore due to cost but you can see the architect devised a solution. It’s a series of layers that should give a ton of depth and look like a classic Chicago, century old warehouse

Unfortunately many unskilled designers would wrap the structure with the facade having the windows and brick in one single plane, that’s when you’ll get complaints of some buildings looking “cheap”.

But I’m looking forward to seeing how 811 will turn out
