St Peter’s College Chapel is a sacred building that is meant to stand out from its surroundings. The large Catholic School community fundraised for over a decade and commissioned Stevens Lawson Architects for the project. The floorplan was designed as a fish or diamond shape with a giant cross featured at the point of the diamond. The cross can be observed both internally and externally.  Viewing from the outside the cross looks to be lit from within, internally it cleverly allows light through the skylight to beam down the centre line of the assembly. The Create Range Smooth Paint Grade Roman was chosen to be painted a pristine white, as the design is one of noble simplicity, forward-looking yet respecting years of historical Catholic traditions.

About the
Professional

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.
