brick house
Clay block building
A brick house is literally a house built of bricks, but the phrase more often describes a person—typically a woman—with a solid, curvaceous physique.
The 1977 Commodores song popularized this sense: She's a brick house.
The image suggests someone built strong and substantial, attractive in a sturdy rather than delicate way.
