The project
We built this double garage using reclaimed brick and roof tiles, helping it sit comfortably alongside the existing home. The brickwork, carefully matched mortar and bespoke doors by Bucks Joinery give the new building a finish that suits the property. A gravel driveway edged with traditional cobbles completes the entrance.
What we did
The bricks are laid in Flemish bond, a traditional pattern that alternates the long and short faces of the bricks, with the pointing set slightly back. We built a brick planter against the garage and ran a cast-iron-effect downpipe down the side. The gravel on the drive was colour-matched and laid on grids, which keeps it level and in place.
