Brooklyn-based NA Design Studio has completed an eight-storey residential building on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, clad in a varied palette of earth-toned brick.

The project uses Danish colour bricks supplied by North American brick manufacturer Glen-Gery. The changing tones across the façade give the building a textured appearance while retaining brick as its dominant architectural material.

The building was presented in an Instagram carousel produced by Dezeen for Glen-Gery. Dezeen’s coverage of the project identifies the development as a residential scheme designed by NA Design Studio.

For architects and developers, the scheme offers a concise example of how colour variation within a conventional masonry cladding can shape a building’s identity without relying on additional façade systems. Its material approach places emphasis on the visual depth created by brick selection and composition.
