The ground floor of Image uses an unusual brick-on-edge style of Flemish bond. The wall will still be 9" thick but each course will be almost half as high again as a normally laid course, thereby saving nearly a third of the bricks. The wall is not as strong but is easily strong enough. Addendum: this is known as "Rat Trap" Bond or Chinese Bond - see Wikipedia for a detailed article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brickwork. A big thank you to Graham Horn http://www.geograph.ie/profile/10124 for this information.
