Why Red Brick Deserves a Bigger Role in Home Design Most homeowners meet red brick in one of four ways: as a structural wall, a partition, an exposed feature wall, or a paving material underfoot. That’s not wrong, but it’s incomplete. Brick has been doing quiet work in houses for centuries, and reducing it to…
A house can feel unbearable at 31°C and pleasant at 31°C. The difference is rarely the number on the thermometer. It is the sun on the walls, the breeze through the rooms, the humidity in the air and what the people inside are able to do about it. That is the idea behind thermal comfort…
