Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our designs
Check out our brick house elevations that blend texture, form, and timeless material into striking contemporary curb appeal.
Brick can be calm and clever at the same time. We’ve been sketching around curves, portals, and slim vertical slices, letting shadows do half the design work while perforated screens and deep reveals handle the comfort.
Our cues come from breezy courtyards, jali lattices, mid‑century grids, and a little warehouse grit—then tightened for city streets.
Look for the way terracotta bands float, balcony ribbons stitch façades, and timber pergolas dial glare down to “no squint.” Function first, poetry close behind.
It’s warmth and edge in the same sentence, cozy, not shouty, with comfort that doesn’t need to brag.
Brick Rhythms With Curved Geometry
We chased a calm balance between soft curves and crisp lines, letting the cylindrical brick core anchor the whole composition. Arched cutouts, slim black frames, and that playful porthole window keep the massing lively without shouting about it.
The brickwork shifts from smooth radius courses to ventilated screens, so light and air sneak through while the walls still feel solid. Deep reveals, balcony ribbons, and a timber pergola modulate sun, shaping cozy shade pockets and cutting glare—function first, poetry close behind.
Terracotta Screens With Floating Bands
Layered brick planes slip past crisp concrete bands, letting light and shade play tag across the elevation. Perforated terracotta screens soften the sun while slim metal louvers cool the interior without fuss.
We sketched it with breezy courtyard houses in mind, then tightened the lines for a city street. Deep overhangs, pocket planters, and a stout ground plinth make the stack feel grounded and green, plus the whole composition ages beautifully as the brick warms up.
Sunlit Brick Terraces And Timber Frames
Stacked balconies nest into crisp white frames, while warm brick bands stitch the facade together with a breezy, handcrafted vibe. A timber pergola crowns the roof, throwing playful shadows that feel a bit like vacation, even on a Tuesday.
We shaped the perforated brick screen for privacy and ventilation, letting rooms breathe without losing that cozy street presence. Slim black rails and broad wooden gates ground the composition, balancing texture and tone so the whole home reads calm, not shouty.
Brick Planes With Garden Frames
Stacked volumes play with depth here, mixing warm brick, cool slate panels, and crisp stucco edges. A slender balcony and slim-line windows sharpen the composition, while a pergola laced with greenery softens the geometry just enough.
We designed it to feel like city-smart meets garden-calm, borrowing cues from mid-century grids and tropical verandas. The recessed brick bay warms the elevation and shades the glazing, and those vertical window slivers pull in daylight without cooking the rooms—form doing honest work.
Brick Bands With Sleek White Eaves
Layered brick volumes slide beneath crisp white eaves, while charcoal siding and slim ribbon windows keep things sharp and easy on the eyes. We chased a balance of warmth and edge here, letting the brick do the cozy talk and the steel-framed glazing bring the cool.
Curved planters soften the approach, and that quiet uplighting tucks the walls in like a goodnight story. The long horizontal lines aren’t just pretty; they stretch the elevation visually, calm the massing, and guide you right to the front door without shouting about it.
Bridged Courtyards With Brick Voids
A pair of offset volumes meet with a slim bridge, carving a breezy courtyard spine right through the middle. Warm brick is paired with crisp concrete bands and gentle timber slats, giving the facade rhythm without shouting about it.
We chased the idea of light threading between solids, so perforated brick screens and deep balconies filter sun while keeping privacy human. Those generous overhangs and the quiet pool edge aren’t just pretty; they cool the microclimate, soften glare, and make everyday living feel unreasonably calm.
Stacked Shadows With Slim Vertical Glazing
A tight rhythm of charcoal and silver brick creates stacked shadows that shift through the day, while slender vertical glazing slices in just enough light. We tucked a warm metal entry under a crisp canopy, keeping the welcome understated but confident.
Horizontal terracotta bands wink through the masonry, a little color break that ties the volumes together and guides the eye. Clean concrete steps and linear planting calm the composition, proving that restraint—used well—does the heavy lifting.
Porches Framed In Chalk And Brick
This corner-fronted residence plays with depth using crisp white frames that pop against smooth gray planes and warm brick inlays. The terraces step out like shelves, pulling in breezes while glass rails keep the facade light and easy on the eye.
We borrowed from urban townhouses and tropical verandas, then dialed up the geometry for a clean, contemporary beat. The roof pergolas crown the massing, softening sunset light and giving residents a leafy, elevated living room that doesn’t feel precious.
Monolith Brick Cube With Marble Veil
The composition leans on a calm palette—warm brick, crisp white bands, and a dramatic black marble fin—so the massing feels sculpted yet friendly. Deep window reveals and a slim horizontal slit balance daylight with privacy, because neighbors, they exist.
We shaped the upper cube to hover over a shaded porch, creating a soft entry moment and a breezy micro-courtyard. Clean terraces with slender railings open to the garden, while the vertical timber door adds a tactile welcome that warms up the minimal lines.
Terracotta Frames With Layered Balconies
We chased a warm, urban vibe here—clean planes, tall vertical glazing, and those punchy terracotta frames that stitch the volumes together. The stacked balconies float like shelves, casting shade while nudging breezes deeper inside, because comfort shouldn’t wait for the AC.
Textured stone at the base settles the house into the site, while slim black railings and deep reveals add crisp shadows for a little drama at sunset. The composition is all about rhythm and pause: windows rising in a column for light, broad overhangs to tame glare, and a courtyard gate that greets you with a confident, open stance.
Tiered Brick Lofts With Glass Terraces
We played with crisp, tiered masses—brick above, light gray masonry below—so the house steps back like a quiet little amphitheater. Broad panes of glass wrap the corners, pulling trees and sky right into the living spaces, and yes, it feels bigger because of it.
A floating balcony band carves the middle level, using slim metal trims and clear guardrails to keep sightlines clean while giving the brick a bold shadow line. Deep window reveals and black mullions sharpen the edges, controlling glare and adding that cinematic glow at dusk—because mood matters.
Graphite Ledges With Ribbon Windows
We layered pale brick with charcoal ledges to create a calm, horizontal cadence that keeps the mass feeling light. Ribbon windows skim under the bands, pulling daylight deep inside while giving privacy from the street—like sunglasses, but for walls.
A cantilevered planter softens the entry terrace, and the deep-set door adds that quiet, gallery-like pause before you step in. The glass corner frames sunset views without bulking up the silhouette, and those thin shadow reveals are doing heavy lifting to crisp every edge.
Urban Brick Bays With Calm Terraces
A calm rhythm plays across the front with brick pilasters, deep balconies, and broad white frames that catch the light just right. We chased a “city porch” idea here—private outdoor rooms layered up the facade, so mornings start with coffee and a skyline wink.
Slim reveals, soffit lighting, and perforated privacy panels do the quiet heavy lifting, keeping things refined without shouting. Generous glazing pulls in daylight while the brick warms the palette, and those tidy planters soften the entry so it feels like a friendly wave, not a formal salute.
Soft Brick Cottage With Arched Welcome
We shaped the façade around a calm, arched porch that makes arriving feel like exhaling after a long day. Paired gables slice crisp shadows across the pale brick, while the narrow eyebrow window adds a wink of charm because houses can flirt too.
The brick is lime-washed for softened texture and heat control, letting the trim and shingles do the quiet contrast work. Low plantings hug the base to ground the elevation, and that simple, straight walk keeps the entry legible from the curb—small moves, big hospitality.
Twin Brick Facades With Steel Grids
This paired facade leans into balance: twin bays of warm brick, oversized black muntin windows, and tidy Juliet rails that feel crisp yet inviting. We chased that classic warehouse vibe, then softened it with honeyed wood doors and pale brick lintels, because a little warmth beats cold minimalism any day.
Slim steel canopies stitch the entries together and keep the stoops dry, while the deep window frames add shadow lines that make the elevation read richer at every hour. The light bands above each opening lift the composition, subtly framing the glazing and giving the brickwork a clean pause between floors.
Aqua Spines With Floating Eaves
A vertical aqua glass spine anchors the warm brick massing while wide white eaves float like wings. Stacked balconies with slim railings pull in breezes, and yes, they make sunset-watching a competitive sport.
We leaned into a calm beach-to-city vibe: earthy brick, cool teal accents, and graphite stone at the base for a grounded feel. Deep overhangs and tinted glazing temper harsh sun, and those light steel canopies add shade without blocking the sky.
Floating Brick Terraces With Timber Screens
This home plays with balance, letting a bold concrete frame hover over warm brick terraces like it’s defying gravity (because, a little, it is). Slim timber slats soften the mass, filter light, and give privacy without shutting the world out.
We drew inspiration from coastal breeze blocks and mid-century decks, then edited it with clean lines and honest materials. Glass balustrades keep views open, while deep overhangs and recessed LEDs shape shade and glow exactly where you want them.
Warm Brick Terraces With Glass Gardens
This corner residence layers warm brick pods with crisp white bands, letting each floor float a little, like it’s pausing for a breath. We tucked in slim LED reveals under the eaves so evenings glow softly without shouting about it.
A glass garden balcony brings greenery right to the living spaces, giving privacy while keeping the street vibe friendly. Dark bronze frames and perforated screens temper sunlight, control views, and add that quiet, tailored rhythm we love.
Sanded Brick Frames With Quiet Balconies
We leaned into a calm, sand-toned palette where brick shoulders the structure and creamy frames carve generous window bays. Slim timber screens slide like pocket shades, softening light and adding that little wink of privacy without turning the place into a bunker.
Balconies float with clear glass rails so views stay clean and daylight runs deep, while the rooftop pergola becomes the sunny hangout you swear you’ll use every morning. Ground-level stepping pads and planter edges straighten the circulation, and the warm wood door and garage wrap keep the whole facade feeling friendly, not formal.
Breezy Lattice Tower With Garden Edges
We carved a breezy brick lattice at the crown, inspired by old jali screens that cool hot afternoons without hiding the view. The stacked white bands wrap the corners like clean strokes, pulling the wood-lined volumes together and giving the terraces a calm, gallery feel.
Planters tucked into parapets turn every level into a pocket garden, letting the home breathe and soften the urban edge. Slender black trims and frameless glass rails keep the lines razor-sharp, so the warmth of timber and brick does the talking without shouting.
Sunwashed Brick Porch With Quiet Parapets
We shaped the stepped porch and soft arches to feel welcoming, then wrapped them in pale concrete bands that catch the sun like a picture frame. The taller rear volume pulls breezes across the terrace, because comfort shouldn’t rely on a thermostat alone.
Brick courses stay honest and warm, while deep window reveals tame glare and add cozy shadow lines. Simple parapet railings outline a rooftop walkout—more sky, more evening tea, less fuss.
Graphite Terraces With Warm Wood Accents
We shaped this vertical home as a series of terraces, letting the graphite brick read like calm layers against crisp white frames. Slim wood details warm the edges, so the whole thing feels friendly rather than fortress-y.
Deep balcony planters double as soft privacy screens and bring a bit of garden to every floor. Recessed lighting and generous overhangs keep nights cozy and days shaded, so comfort doesn’t have to shout to be noticed.
Woven Brick Tower With Subtle Lanterns
We chased the rhythm of weaving for this tower, letting brick shift in a herringbone cadence that feels both crafted and city-tough. Slim vertical windows slice the pattern like rests in a musical score, bringing daylight deep while keeping the face calm and confident.
Dark horizontal bands stage each floor like fine shelving, giving shadow lines that quietly dramatize the height. Gentle uplights graze the brick at night, and those slim light stitches make the facade glow just enough—like a lantern that learned minimalism.
Circular Beacon On Brick Canvas
A tall brick plane is framed in crisp white, punctuated by a playful circular porthole and an X of integrated linear lights. Next to it, charcoal ribs and a slim vertical window balance a soft gray volume with a glass-balustrade balcony, so the whole thing feels composed yet a little cheeky.
We designed the composition to echo urban order with small moments of surprise—like that round window winking at the street. The ribbed cladding adds texture while shading the planter niche, and the etched metal gate brings a delicate, tree-like pattern that softens the hard lines without getting fussy.
