Hello everyone,
For our planned single-family house, we are looking for a suitable facing brick/brick veneer.
The base tone should be red, and we also like brown and orange shades in it.
We do not like it when there are individual, completely dark bricks included.
Here is an example:
This is "Vischering red-brown-multicolor" from Schüring. So far, we like it best (color, surface, variations), but it still has too many dark bricks and feels too busy for us. In the picture, I mean about the 12 darkest bricks; without those, it would be perfect for us!
Do you have any tips on where we can find similar facing bricks with fewer dark ones?
We have been searching online, at building material suppliers, and in residential areas for weeks, and we’re starting to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of bricks...
Thank you very much in advance!

...and he did his job very well.I can believe that. They are no amateurs. But that doesn’t make the “creative” solution some general contractors come up with—delaying the project by suddenly replacing the tile setter with a bricklayer—any better. We did have a bricklayer too (Zygmunt), but he has a heat intolerance and is currently needed elsewhere. Those are not ideal conditions for a textbook brick cladding.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

If you sort out stones, use them deliberately to create contrasts, since the stones do match each other.
I’m thinking of the entrance platform, barbecue area, garden bench, etc. Or smoky eyes between two adjacent windows... it would be helpful to know the house design to make more targeted suggestions.

... When viewed in HD photos and when, like in the post image, only a small section of the wall is visible (...), the darker bricks appear "distracting" in the overall look. However, seen from about eight meters (26 feet) away from the start of the driveway, the impression changes: there, the "cleaned up" brickwork would look unnatural and generally too light. I should probably mention that we have also seen the shown "Vischering" facing brick fully installed from 8 meters (26 feet) away. That’s where the photo in post #1 comes from. We know very well that display boards only give an idea, which is why we are walking around neighborhoods ;-)
Some general information about our building project:
We will be building a single-family house with an architect on a 1000 m² (12,000 sq ft) plot in a rural area. We are in the planning phase; currently it looks like about 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) of living space, a pitched roof, garage... something like this:
Herringbone brick pattern is our first choice; for Vischering bricks, we would prefer a medium grey mortar joint.
I would even like to do the bricklaying myself, although I am a complete beginner... but generally skilled and precise. Would it make sense to do some of the work myself, for example, with a professional bricklayer by my side? I feel like this might be a spontaneous idea.
