WHSP Corporate Office, Australia

When Washington H. Soul Pattinson (WHSP) relocated from their iconic Pitt Street offices (a space they occupied for 116 years) moving to the new Barrack Place development, they didn’t leave their past behind. The new workplace embeds a rich heritage while evolving to promote performance and innovation. 

The primary focus was retaining the old site’s heritage features, whilst developing a new innovative and inspiring workplace. The beautiful clay bricks reference the old sites internal structures while maintaining contemporary design. At the core—the new workspace was reimagined to support a variety of working styles, converging into an open, residential inspired living environment for staff to
eat, work, and play. 

An incredibly complex task to lay brick on vertical, horizontal and curved surfaces while creating the perception that the brick building had been there for many years. One of the challenges was keeping the structure light so we could achieve the new building enveloping the old, creating stunning juxtaposition.

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.
