With this in mind, bricks were chosen as the primary building material. The design of the house was a series of brick ribbons that divided the house into its various components.
The masonry construction used long thin concrete bricks developed explicitly for our firm by National Masonry. The bricks were laid with flush-struck mortar which using cement that matched the brick colour for a more homogenised finished surface.
The cement brick was chosen for its ability to develop a soft patina over time, unlike its clay counterparts, which was more suited to the houses’ rural environment.
