Brick Stack

Project Team Matthew Au, Mira Henry, Jixun Wen
Two-thousand three-hundred extra bricks from another jobsite were reclaimed for this simple stoop. The dark toned units were coursed using stack bond to produce the effect of a solid material stack. Compositionally, the brick arrangement on the ground echoes the 1930’s original two-part layered terracotta roof tile. Other components of this residential courtyard renovation include the design of a timber frame shade structure and the installation of a ten-foot sliding door.
