Murray Place.

This premium multi-unit townhouse development showcases the amazing impact a fully brick-clad building can have. Despite using a classic material, in this case Midland Subiaco brick, the result is strikingly contemporary.

This complex award-winning build in Central Christchurch involved multiple levels, highly visible external corners, and detailed brickwork that demanded absolute precision - both in the management of the job and its flawless execution. Brick used at this scale in the modern context in New Zealand is unusual, especially in premium multi-unit residential developments. But this spectacular award-winning execution shows that it can easily hold it’s own against other popular cladding and finishing materials, when modern architectural design and traditional craftsmanship perfectly align.
