KUD also incorporated hit and miss brickwork, leaving small gaps in the wall to allow light to filter through and provide a visual connection to the street whilst maintaining privacy.

Choosing a flexible and knowledgeable bricks manufacturer was critical to realising the design. "This was a fairly unusual way to lay bricks. We approached a number of manufacturers with the concept, however many found it counter-intuitive and difficult to grasp. The team at PGH Bricks and Pavers understood our vision and the team was really helpful in providing a proper selection of bricks and technical specifications that were appropriate for this application," said Kavellaris.

The project used six different tones from the PGH Smooth range for the side façade and a complementary darker Nuvo Domino brick for the front façade. A varied offering was important to the success of the project. "We wanted to tie the design together with brick, yet create different interfaces for the front and side of the home. The PGH Bricks palette provided us with a wide range of textures and colours with which to create that contrast," added Kavellaris.

The project used PGH Smooth bricks in Nevada Cream, Taupe Grey, Jute, Choc Fudge, Flame Red for the side exterior. The front exterior used PGH Nuvo Domino bricks.

Completed in 2014 the bricks were originally supplied by Boral. In May 2015, a joint venture was established to combine the East Coast brick operations and offerings of Boral Limited and CSR Limited, which now trades under PGH Bricks & Pavers.
