A significant detail in the project is the variation of bonds. When walking across the property, you can’t miss the play of bonds; There is the classic bond of long format bricks, a protruding bond as well as transparent one – each of which adds a special effect on the overall impression of the house.

Villa Zeist, Netherlands
Photo @Stijin Poelstra fotografie & video
Despite its fairly traditional roof shape, the house has a modern appearance due to the use of long-format gray-fired bricks. The slender black steel facades further enhance this modern look. The application of oak wood on elements such as the garage the large pivot front door, and the ceilings of the overhangs creates a beautiful contrast against the gray-toned masonry, giving the house a sleek yet warm ambiance.
A play of horizontal and vertical lines creates a playful composition. The elongated horizontal canopies thread the volumes together and provide balance to the predominantly vertical, stately main volume. Various brickwork patterns, with bricks applied both horizontally and vertically, create a subtle division of planes in the facade. An ample chimney, featuring an indoor and outdoor fireplace, becomes an eye-catching element at the rear of the house, connecting the two main volumes.

RT 554 Eos
Frederiksberg, Denmark
The centre of the project is a courtyard surrounded by five townhouses. Each house has a unique bond and technique, but all masonry is based on RT 154 and RT 554. The use of identical bricks provides a common thread across the five townhouses. As such, they are alike but unique.
The size and position of windows in the 30 apartments of the project imitate its neighbouring buildings. In the same way, the finish is inspired by the many towers on the boulevard, that was initially inspired by Paris’ Champs Elysee.

Drawing us in with it’s tempting south-faced swimming pool, this house has some wonderful brickwork details that align with the windows and provide comforting sunblock on both floors.

From the driveway we get a glimpse of the crystal blue waters and are welcomed by a significant matte black front door. The black lamellas create an intriguing effect, that contrasts nicely to the light-tinted brickwork and sandy grit.

Randers Tegl HQ, Denmark
The vision behind the new headquarters at Hammershøj is called Supersize Bricks and covers the architect’s visual expression.
The administration building consists of four 'stacked bricks'. To make these stones habitable, they are scaled by a factor of 92. The proportions of the stones have been preserved so that the expression at a distance will have clear references to the format of a Danish brick – now only at 21x10x5 meters. The same expression is repeated on the production buildings, which simultaneously act as exhibition walls and demonstration of mortar types and curves.
