BRICK:
Create Range Custom Emperor

Formerly an iconic homestead built circa 1924 the beautiful old Delamore, named after it’s architect, was demolished after the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes.

A private timber bridge leads over Cross Stream into the new Parkdale setting and one of three new homes being built on this huge section has settled in nicely to it’s stunning peaceful surroundings.

A collaboration between architects Co Lab, construction company Takahe Construction, interior design firm The Duchamp Collective and landscape architects Nick Rouse Design has created a fabulous timeless home to live in.

Both function and form work well together here with glass and brick working seamlessly together.  Wanting something different to the standard claddings available an extra long thin profile brick was sourced.  CCB then worked with the team to create a locally made Emperor size brick from the Create Range.  Coastal Brick and Block laid these with a natural grey mortar in a stretcher bond.  Raking the horizontal joints and flush mortaring the vertical joints has softened the edges whilst accentuating the horizontal, creating long thin layers to the eye.

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.
