Joint: Flush
Size:24cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: English
Name: Possibly Rose Blush.
Colour: red
The bricks may be the FBA type because they have different colours and inaccurate sizes. Therefore, it might be sand-strucked brick and has Medium smooth texture.
The brick is considered to be structural because it has many layers of bricks on the wall and it is the exterior wall. The building also has an segmental arch and flat gauged arch to optimize the appearance of the building.






Joint: Grooved
Size: 24cmX7.5cmX11cm
Bond: Strecher
Colour: Red, black, orange, yellow
The surface texture of the bricks is rough because the the colour of a brick is not pure and the surface of the brick is not flat.
The building implies different alignments of the brick to decorate it. For example, by using different alignments, the shape of the building is outlined, the windows are as if covered with frames. The bricks of the outside walls are structural because the walls are thicker than inner walls. This is an evidence that these walls are required to sustain more weight than others.
