The brick facade of the villa incorporates clinker bricks. These unique bricks, once thought to be secondary, are now prized and utilized by premier architects and builders.
In the early 20th century, architects saw these unique bricks and began incorporating them into their designs. Popularized by the architectural firm of Greene and Greene in California during the Arts and Crafts movement, these bricks became recognized for their qualities of being misshapen which gave more architectural intrigue. These once accidentally made bricks are now purposefully made by overheating them during the firing process, causing them to lack uniformity and make a “clinking” sound when they are banged together, hence their name.
At Reflection Point, the owners repurposed and incorporated the clinker brick into the design on the home’s facade and in some of the garden walkways, lending an old-world architectural style.
