The feature in the picture is called "corbelling" and is a way for masonry to change the cross-section of a wythe of brick or stone.  Most building codes restrict corbels to an offset of 1/3 brick, more or less, unless certified by a structural engineer or architect.  Before designing such a structure, my advice is to check what the building code is in your area.  This can be done in CA as mentioned, by modelling a 3d solid and then mirroring to match the opposite side.
