Homes built of brick, stone, and concrete have endured throughout history, constructed by many cultures and in many places, from ancient Greece, Rome, Moorish Spain, France, and throughout Asia.

Research visits to Europe and Asia to investigate various buildings in context have stimulated our practice’s appreciation of traditional architecture and modern design. “You have to experience architecture within its context to truly understand it, to sense its serenity, dynamism, or gauge its integrity as a whole.”

Our firsthand experience of many of the world’s great buildings plus an intimate understanding of the architecture associated with them, imbue, and enlivens projects with a sense of space, material, and detail.  Some of our research photos are included below.

Here at Masonry Homes, we are able to bring some of this exotic authenticity to your project so you can live and work in a timeless, beautiful and healthy environment.
