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.

About the
Professional

Canterbury Clay Bricks is a family run business, supplying clay bricks nationally, for commercial and residential builds, since its inception over 50 years ago.  We are the only manufacturer of kiln fired clay bricks in the South Island.

We offer you an impressive collection using rich Canterbury clays, from which we have created a host of enduring finishes and colours that will add style and value to your new home or project.

Canterbury Clay Bricks manufacturing plant is located close to its clay supplies within the surronding hills of Darfield. A number of recycled products are used in the manufacture of the bricks including re-constituted brick and recycled glass. The kilns at the plant run on up to 95% of re-claimed fuels and oil further reducing any impact of manufacturing. We supply nationwide to both residential and commercial projects, new builds and renovations. 

Bricks are a blend of clays and water. The bricks are then formed, dried and kilned to produce a strong and durable end product. They are then hand blended and graded by staff to give a consistent finish.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
