BRICK:
Smooth Roman 290x50x70 (Custom colour & corner profiles)

Tucked in under the hills and close to the sea, meant careful consideration of new coastal flood planning constraints for this beautiful family home. With split multi-levels separating living and sleeping and a central entrance way up through a courtyard garden, every space you walk into oozes tranquility. The colour palette and textures achieved with the use of warm cedars and custom made bricks achieves a warmth even on the coldest of days. The use of the brick internally also creates the feeling of strength and solidity.  This Roman profile brick, 290x50x70, gives thinner longer lines and works extremely well with the vertical Cedar.  The natural variation in a kiln fired brick works so well internally, allowing each room to settle into it’s environment. And a beautiful marriage has been struck between the bricks and the warm timber floors.  The Objects team worked with CCB on every detail of the bricks, with some obtuse angled bricks produced to create non standard corners with Terraforma providing a stunning lay.

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.
