Traditional Brick Curved Arch Lintel

Curved brick arch lintel designed as a parametric Revit family featuring segmented masonry voussoirs aligned along a shallow radius curve. The component models a segmental masonry lintel constructed from radially arranged soldier bricks. Individual brick voussoirs follow a constant curved arc, creating a shallow eyebrow or segmental profile typical of historic and traditional exterior masonry openings. Symmetrical across the central vertical axis, the geometry accurately depicts the wedge profile and uniform spacing of standard brick courses over an aperture. Reference planes indicate centering and alignment controls, establishing clean relationships between opening spans, rise dimensions, and adjacent exterior brick veneer coursing for cohesive architectural elevations.

The download is a 492 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this Revit family directly into an architectural project to detail exterior door and window heads. Position the family above openings in wall elevations, aligning the reference planes with the structural aperture or window frame centreline. Assign masonry materials via family parameters to match facade finish schedules, and coordinate horizontal brick courses to maintain realistic mortar joints across standard exterior elevations and construction documentation sheets.

Suitable for classical residential estates, heritage townhouses, suburban villas, and traditional brick commercial facades, this architectural element provides authentic decorative relief above doors, arched casements, and sash windows. It integrates cleanly into schematic design presentations as well as detailed planning drawings, pairing naturally with stone sills, timber frames, and multi-wythe cavity brickwork. Architects detailing masonry headers and segmental lintels can use this asset across residential developments and conservation projects.
