Petersen on the Map

Since 2008, Petersen Tegl has supplied bricks for some 60 building projects in New York. Photos of a selection of them are presented here, and they are marked on the map below. We hope that architects and clients considering Petersen bricks for their projects will use the map as a guide to studying them on a scale of 1:1. The buildings presented on the previous pages are also marked on the map.

To encourage concentration, the inside of the building offers only limited views of the outside world. Top: The double-height arrival hall.

“Nowadays, using architectural materials that bear the mark of the human hand is crucial. To make the bricks, clay is put in a wooden mould. When the mould is removed, the edges leave a sharp little fold. Like the crust on a baguette.”
