masonry wall
Explanation:
I think wall would be best here instead of envelope or enclosure.
Masonry refers to brick, stone or concrete, forming masonry units (bricks, concrete blocks, etc.) laid with mortar. Please see ref below for a definition in Spanish. And directly below is another example:
Precios de Cerramiento de obra de fábrica a una cara vista de dos hojas, hoja principal exterior de pared apoyada de 15 cm de espesor de bloque de mortero de cemento gris liso de 400x200x150 mm, colocado con mortero elaborado en obra, con trabas y jambas rellenos de hormigón y armado, cámara de aire, aislamiento de poliestireno expandido de tensión a la compresión 30 kPa de 40 mm de espesor y elemento separador con tira de poliestireno expandido y hoja interior formada por tabicón de 10 cm de ladrillo hueco doble 290x140x100 mm, en tramo central. C1+J1+B2/B3 según DB-HS

Please see link below also for a link to a book sample on masonry construction
And this:
Masonry is typically site constructed (laid) using manufactured masonry units and site mixed mortar. The units are laid in mortar to various heights, with the strength of the assembly being achieved during curing of the mortar. Masonry can form structural elements (typically bearing walls, columns, or pilasters) and/or the finished cladding system.
Masonry Units
Several different types of masonry units are commonly used. Common masonry unit types include clay and concrete units, which may be solid or hollow, and glazed or unglazed. Other masonry unit types include cast stone and calcium silicate units.
