And it’s the unique details in the design, for which Kennedy Nolan is renowned, that really sets Kooyong apart. The Herringbone brick walls paved with Krause Bricks’ Rustic Tan brick tiles, supplied by Robertson’s Building Products, are a prime example.  While the townhouses are predominantly rendered, the pedestrian access at the front of the building, along with a double arched wall at the back, which forms an entry into the rear townhouse, are covered in Rustic Tan brick tiles laid in a herringbone pattern.  “We used the herringbone pattern as an opportunity not just to create texture from the brick tile, but to accent the actual craft of the bricklayer, that craft in itself,” Jacky says.

From both the north and south facades, residents and their guests can walk past, around and through the brick tiles walls, allowing everyone to view and enjoy them. “You walk around those walls and have a good close proximity to them in both instances where they’re used. They’re immediate to you, so you can actually appreciate the warmth and texture of the brick tiles up close,”.
