In Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, local practice Range Architecture & Design has created a new showroom for Nothing Design Co., a boutique furniture studio. Working with an existing 1-story brick building, the architects added a double-height second floor and implemented a screen of terra-cotta pavers in front of the building to shade large window openings. The expansion also relied heavily on the use of reclaimed Chicago common brick, which was used to construct new bearing walls for the additional floors.
