Bond: The front façade and columns demonstrate the use of a stretcher bond, as does the curved stair section. The stair section however, is arranged so that the brick stretchers are alongside one another and the headers are visible externally.
Jointing: The jointing is mainly flush. The exception to this is where a dark brown course meets either a honey or off-white course. At these junctions the jointing is raked, further accentuating the aesthetic detail.
Surface Texture: The surface texture of the bricks is very smooth.
Structural: In this case, the bricks are structural.
Colours: 3 distinct colours – honey, dark brown and off-white – were used to create an aesthetic pattern. The dominant colour is honey, while the other colours are used to visually ‘break up’ and pattern the vast, solid wall.
