C.F. Row is an award-winning apartment building in Fitzroy, built on the original site of furniture makers C.F. Rojo and Sons. Designers Woods Bagot selected Krause Bricks and Brick Tiles in Red Blue for the facade walls and internal laneways, creating a modern look that also gives a nod to the building's rich history.
The site was the home of a premier furniture maker in the postwar years, which visitors and residents can see in the exterior, and now uses the original brick facade of the former building. — Woods Bagot, Designer
A new row of low-scale collaged brick and concrete townhouses form a rhythmic ensemble along the northern boundary along the Exhibition graffiti laneway, formulating a conversation between the existing low-scale Victorian rowhouses. — Woods Bagot, Designer
Krause Bricks has been a family owned and run business since 1945. The traditional craftsmanship and methods of brickmaking have been passed down through three generations, with each one adding their own innovations and modernisations.
