Claybrick: The Beauty of Exposed Masonry
Exposed masonry is one of the latest trends in modern homes, adding character by creating stunning accents that enrich the design whatever its inspiration.
A Welcoming Guesthouse
Exposed masonry adds character to boutique guesthouse in Nelspruit. Bricks from Malelane Stene provide a warm, welcoming contrast to the contemporary steel and concrete architecture of Execustay Boutique Guesthouse. Brick offers natural colours and textures, bestowing a sense of heritage and authenticity to the home.
It is among the most effective interpretations of Lowveld Architecture creating a residence that makes a statement. The clay brick adds atmosphere and a tactile dimension to an otherwise plain wall, while still reflecting light due to the light colours of bricks used.
Masonry walls are beautiful, durable and maintenance-free architectural features, ideally suited to a guesthouse that must always look its best.
A combination of natural elements and industrial lighting adds to the unrefined elegance of this guesthouse. Inside and out, the use of brickwork is striking and creates a uniform look.
Elegant simplicity is the order of the day here. A character-filled space is created, with a calming ambience that is ideal for a tranquil guesthouse such as the Execustay Boutique Guesthouse.
