Shim-Sutcliffe Architects has sent us photos of the Ace Hotel in Toronto, Canada, which has a red brick facade that draws guests in with a wood-lined opening.
Working closely with the creative agency Atelier Ace, the architects of the hotel decided to cover the exterior of the hotel in brickwork with different patterns, including wrapping around the uniquely shaped design.
