Brick House Architecture Goes Ultra-Modern

Philadelphia-based Qb Design makes brick house architecture modern. This unusual city home takes a cue from its location – an urban-industrial corner of Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties region. A cool, curved brick exterior wall welcomes passers-by to linger awhile and enjoy the subtle particulars of this urban house design. Inside, this 3,800-sq.-ft., split-level home is cool as can be, featuring an elegant blend of bleached and blackened oak, polished concrete and polished steel within its large open-concept design. A staircase zigzags its way through the home, offering uninterrupted visual and physical access to the home’s various levels. Plenty of windows dot this brick house, flooding interiors with natural light and offering views of the street and the rooftop garden pati
