wide overhangs and creative
brick chimneys are just some
of the distinguishing features
found in small brick homes,
whether in well-established
neighborhoods (2a, 2b, 2c)
or in new developments
(2d, 2e, 2f).

QUOIN CORNER
Quoins are special ornamental projections executed in
brickwork to mark corners of buildings and to create anoverall appearance of strength, grandeur and solidity.
When constructing quoins, brick is laid in the standard
method with a two-inch air space allowed between the
brick and the sheathing rather than the normal one inch
of space. It is important that an adequate number of
ties be used.
This relatively simple masonry technique is a sign of
elegance that will be a lasting reminder of the quality of
the builders work.

HIS OWN HOME
Charlotte architect RalfeMesrobian, who has
designed dozens ofhomes, used brickcreatively on his home.His philosophy showsthrough in the homehe designed for him-self. For the facade, heused a Flemish bondof dark purple headersand pinkish stretchers.The other three sidesfeature a running bond.Carved keystones on
window arches showleaves from oak,poplar, fig and pinetrees all presenton the property. Thefine brick-work in thearches was inspired bya home in Old Salem,the Moravian village in
Winston-Salem. (5a)
Flemish bond extends
beyond the house to planters
flanking the entry and brick
serves to frame the extensive
ground cover.
