A bold color, tons of contrast, and stylishly designed masonry detailing – there’s a lot to like about the Hardy Elementary School in Wellesley, MA. The bricks are from Bowerston Shale Company, and they’ve been used to perfection. Architect: SMMA Mason: Fernandes Masonry, Inc. #brickindustry

The Northbridge Fire Station is a standout example of how bold design and top-tier performance can seamlessly come together! Designed by Galante Architectural Studio and expertly built by Fernandes Masonry, Inc., this project features Jandris Ground Face Hi-R Insulated CMU in vibrant colors (2505, 520G-2 & 5110 to be exact). These units not only elevate the aesthetics but are also energy efficient. The Spec-Thermal HI-R® blocks are pre-insulated masonry wall systems, designed for superior thermal performance while providing a sleek, durable finish. Ideal for modern construction, these blocks are cost-effective and make meeting Energy Code requirements easier than ever. Some advantages of HI-R CMU: 🧱 May be fully or partially grouted for added flexibility 🧱 Saves time and expense with efficient single-wythe construction 🧱 Provides beautiful and durable masonry finishes both inside and out 🧱 Available in full and half-high versions for classic masonry appeal This project demonstrates is the perfect example of how concrete masonry can deliver on both design and performance. At Jandris, we’re proud to support projects like these that push the boundaries of what masonry can achieve—both aesthetically and structurally.
