Red Rock Brickworks

It started with a sample panel. 🧱

Before a single wall was built, we laid side-by-side samples to explore how the same brick could deliver two very different finishes — clean and precise, or raw and tactile.

The client gravitated toward the hand-split option. A more rustic, imperfect texture created by splitting standard face bricks by hand using traditional tools.
No imported bricks. No custom manufacture. Just careful technique and consistency across every course.

That decision carried through to this feature wall in a standalone studio, where the hand-split brickwork adds warmth, texture, and a distinctly architectural quality to the space.

It’s a reminder that some of the most impactful brickwork isn’t about chasing the newest product. It’s about understanding material, testing ideas early, and having the right team on site to execute it properly.

👉 Same brick.
👉 Considered process.
👉 Completely different result.

Protruding brickwork is one of those techniques that feels both timeless and contemporary, and it’s something we’re seeing more architects lean into as design moves toward texture, shadow, and honest materials 🧱

Rather than sitting flush, selected bricks are set proud of the wall plane. The result is a surface that changes throughout the day as light moves across it, creating depth and character without relying on applied finishes.

From a construction point of view, protruding brickwork demands precision. Setting out is critical, coursing must be consistent, and every projection needs to be intentional. There’s nowhere to hide — the craftsmanship is on full display.

We often see this style used on:
🧱 Statement entry walls
🧱 Architecturally designed facades on custom homes
🧱 Boundary and garden walls where texture and shadow are part of the design language
🧱 Education, commercial, and civic projects with strong architectural intent
🧱 Considered feature elements within larger, detail-driven builds

Beyond aesthetics, it’s a durable, low-maintenance way to add interest to brick architecture, allowing the material itself to do the work.

As brickwork continues to evolve in 2026, techniques like this show how traditional materials can be re-imagined through thoughtful design and skilled execution.

Brickwork, designed for what’s next. 🧱

In 2026, brick isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about understanding why certain approaches endure, and how others are being re-imagined to meet the way we build and live today.

From protruding brickwork and curves that celebrate craftsmanship, to reverse brick veneer and internal brick flooring that improve thermal performance and durability — many of these techniques are either timeless, returning with renewed purpose, or evolving through smarter construction methods.

Sustainability and energy efficiency continue to shape decisions too 🌱
Recycled materials, thoughtful detailing, and high-performance building systems are playing a bigger role than ever in how homes are designed and built across Perth.

These are some of the brickwork predictions we anticipate seeing more of in 2026. We’d love to hear from you, which of these do you see shaping homes in Perth for years to come?

A good extension starts with a clear vision and the right people to bring it to life 🏡

This Subiaco addition is designed to introduce more natural light ☀️ and connect seamlessly with the existing home, working alongside the natural materials chosen by the client. Our role is making sure the brickwork supports that vision from the ground up. 🧱

It’s early days on site, but seeing the designer’s intent start to take shape is always a rewarding part of the process. We’ve made a solid start on this one and are looking forward to returning to complete this extension as the build progresses. 🚧

This project also marks our first job with Manson Construction — a team that shares the same focus on quality, clear communication, and doing things properly from the outset.
