I think you mean brick weave 
. The thing to watch when laying brick weave is tile manufacturing tolerance for bowing or cupping. Tiles can be noticeably bowed over their length, particularly cheap ones, & with larger tiles it can be very noticeably over their length & still be within specified/acceptable manufacturing tolerance. When laid conventionally, this won’t notice but lay them brick weave & you can get excessive lippage between the corners/edges of the two tiles adjacent to the centre of the one in the middle. To avoid problems, you should check the accuracy of your particular tiles before deciding to lay in this pattern. Other things to be aware of is that brick weave works best on larger floor areas, especially with tiles that size &, depending on your wall tiles, can look odd & mismatched. You need to plan it carefully if it’s going to look good.
Large format tiles also need a very sound & flat floor, is it concrete or suspended timber?

Sorry it didn’t register you were using two different tile sizes
. However, if your overlapping adjacent tiles, manufacturing tolerance may still be an issue for the reasons I stated; perhaps more so with different size tiles; check before you lay.That’s large enough for it to work but you may also need expansion joints if youve long linear tile runs or an "L" shape. As I said before, make sure you acrylic prime anhydrite screed to avoid reaction between the cement addy & gypsum in the screed.
