This laneway project, inspired by the sites origins as the Wanaka Police Station, gives an old industrial aesthetic. The Norman Family wanted to showcase local businesses and retail outlets, for their community, with the final design by Assembly Architects winning a 2021 Southern Architects Award.  Retail in the front and opening up in the rear, to a sunny sheltered courtyard with stairs up to a sundrenched rooftop deck for casual dining and relaxing.

Utilizing a Wire cut Red Blend brick, with varying strengths of a white wash applied after the bricks are laid, creates a stunning industrial, reclaimed look.  With extra texture added to the brick walls by Wanaka Brick and Block Ltd laying a half stretcher bond with random bricks protruding.  This texture is accentuated with the beautiful soft lighting at night creating a different feel at night versus day.

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.
