Architect - Andrew Smith

Located on a prominent corner site in the heart of residential Point Chevalier, Point & Miller is the latest boutique apartment development consisting of only 22 apartments. Point & Miller is the third project PB&A have worked on with Craig Kells. Both previous projects – The Saint and The Barrington, were shortlisted for the NZIA local award and The Barrington achieved that success. These projects provided an opportunity to be creative, unique and intimate. Point & Miller certainly fits that brief with a sensitivity of scale, textual aesthetic and simple diagrammatic.

The development has a raw palette of monochromatic materials paired with a unique terracotta tile laid in a vertical pattern. Architectural detailing such as the extruded brick, exposed concrete frame and the black window frames add texture and articulation to its simple form. Red bricks from the original units on the site have even been repurposed into the boundary wall. The effect is a bold, modern building that exudes all the character and style of the surrounding suburb.

Designing with clay brick is enjoying an international renaissance and we are reminded that bricks have always been the material of choice for the discerning. While many know that brick is a beautiful, authentic and timeless product, some may be unaware of just how advanced the brick industry is in green building design and sustainability.


The Brickery is the next chapter in the Austral Bricks and Monier Bricks joint venture. We’re proud to present a design-driven collection of clay bricks sourced from around the world. 

Bricks are Individuals

Born in a kiln, our clay bricks are made from naturally occurring minerals. There will be variations from brick to brick and batch to batch. It is essential that current physical samples are viewed to get a true indication of colour and character, before making your final selection.

Embrace the colours, shapes, styles and textures of clay bricks as no two bricks are the same. 

Specialised kiln settings create beautiful flares, bars and dramatic colour ranges within batches of clay bricks.

Colour and texture variation is inherent in the process and part of the appeal.
