A SIMPLE WALL DESIGN

Given our yield of 34 bricks, and taking into account the dimensions of the existing fixed timber frame window, we came up with the following simple wall design that incorporates a timber lintel to support the bricks above the window opening. This design uses all 34 bricks produced.

We then chose to scale down the size of the wall to allow for possible breakage/damage of bricks and other contingencies, and to leave a couple of bricks for experimentation and testing. The following design uses 26 of the total 34 bricks, and measures approx 1285mmH and 1260mW, with a wall thickness of 250mm.
