Brick houses are generally associated with old buildings that have been standing for years, but brick can occasionally be seen as an exterior material on modern houses as you’ll see here.
Brick’s ability to be arranged in creative patterns makes them a versatile material and allows them to create contemporary looks despite their traditional usage. Here are 14 examples of modern homes with brick exteriors.
