Colorful Masonry: Stripes are not painted

A wall with patterns built from two materials. Red brick forms the base, with light-colored stone used for horizontal bands, arch voussoirs, and window frames, creating distinct horizontal stripes and radial arch rings. The colors come from the materials themselves, not paint. The pattern changes with the position of the openings. Avoid: using paint to create fake stripes, making the color difference between the two materials almost imperceptible, making the stripe spacing chaotic and irregular, using more than three colors of materials on the same wall.

一面用兩種材料砌出圖案的牆。紅磚為底,淺色石材做成水平的條帶、拱的楔形塊與窗框,形成明顯的橫向條紋與放射狀的拱圈。顏色來自材料本身,不靠油漆。圖案隨著開口的位置變化。避免:用塗料畫出假的條紋、把兩種材料的色差做到幾乎看不出、讓條紋的間距雜亂無規律、在同一面牆上使用超過三種顏色的材料。
