24 Brick And Concrete Houses That Blend Strength and Style

Last updated on October 15, 2025 · ⓘ How we make our designs

Here’s how brick and concrete come together to make warm, light-filled homes with minimalist yet cozy look.

We keep returning to brick and concrete—steady, weather-proof, and somehow even better once they’ve earned a few scuffs.

These homes grew out of quiet streets, hard seasons, and that fleeting moment when morning light drifts across a rough wall. We aim for simple layouts, generous shade, and windowsills that actually fit a coffee cup.

Take a look and see how the materials hold their own. If you catch yourself wanting to reach out and feel the texture—that’s perfectly normal. We do it too.

Brick Box Over Concrete Base

A stacked brick volume floats over a board-formed concrete base, stitched together by a shadow line of ribbon windows. The entry recess frames a glass door, while a grid paver path with grass joints leads through soft native plantings.

We drew inspiration from agrarian barns and crisp mid-century lines, aiming for warmth up top and cool stoicism below. The overhang shields sun, the narrow glazing preserves privacy, and the landscape does the rest—without demanding a fussy gardener.

Terraced Masonry Tower

Gardenlined Brick Bands

Arched Brick Modernist Residence

A quiet composition of warm brick, cool concrete, and bronze-framed glazing steps up to a tall timber door. The generous arch crowns the entry, while low native grasses soften the crisp terraces like a collar on a sharp suit.

We shaped the massing as stacked bands to frame views and shade the glass, keeping the interior calm and efficient. The palette draws from civic brick buildings and classic arcades—formal, a bit grand, yet welcoming enough to kick off your shoes.

Lifted Concrete Lantern
