What was once a feature of 70’s buildings, has now come back into fashion.

Decorative, patterned brickwork, feature walls for the front facades of buildings is now back in vogue.

And it is not costing a fortune!

Having a decorative brick wall near the front door, breaks up a bland aspect to the front entry way and adds a bit of character, while not costing the earth in labour.

This fancy brickwork can also be used for breezeways and alfrescos, to give privacy and shading at the same time.

If you are building you may want to consider this trend and add this to your architectural design.
