Beats dragging half the Sahara into the house as pavers spew sand for the first two years (also beats the ensuing weeds, ants and settling when they finally get plugged with the magical amalgam of guano, dirt, leaf mold). In fact, also beats the inevitable multi-year white efflorescence of pavers...

That would be an original building - to do it well, you would probably need a signwriter and ask them to copy it. Send the photo to some of them and see what sort of prices they come back with.
