BRICK:
Create Range Custom Emperor and Slips

When an architect builds their own home you know it will be something special and this home certainly is that.  Tim knew what he wanted right from the start and designed the home with the Create Range Emperor bricks and feature front window in mind.  The custom made, earthy tones and long skinny profile of the brick suits the cubeoid or box like half of the house, bringing the futuristic, triangular, coloured prism down to earth beside it.  A match made in heaven with the naturalness of the horizontal layers of bricks contrasting beautifully with the vast vertical black metal, cascading down the roof and walls.  This Emperor brick is a bespoke colour that was produced for the client with natural variation in shade and size and brick slips supplied for the outdoor fire.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to photographic, computer screen and browser variations, the true representation of the finishes and colours in this website may vary. Kiln fired bricks are a natural product and therefore can vary in colour, texture and size.
