I have always had a strong interest in materials. It is amazing how much difference a slight variation in color, texture or light can make. I would say that architects are masters of material, and the best details are almost always found where two materials meet. This project is a quick study on the relationship between brick and wood, and how the two are able to interact with one another. Built as a small fence to conceal a water pump from view, this small project is still one of my favorite. The brick is made to be a little rough and messy, and the wood is the sharp counter-weight. Masonry details continue throughout the project to help tie the materials together.
