Lucy used ‘Governor ’ bricks in Wakehurst, Foveaux, King

and Haigh in a rustic herringbone pattern in earthy tones

topped with ‘Burlesque’ Indulgent White to create an

easy transition in from outdoors. “Framed by an elegant

steel-and-glass door and anchored by a foliage-topped

table, the conservatory-style room evokes the mood of

a laid-back coastal hacienda.”

“I was aiming for a bold, confident and contemporary

space. My inspiration was The Wizard of Oz. I used the

colour ‘Sol from the Camilla for Austral’ Bricks range.

Increasingly, architects and designers are specifying

bricks for interiors for their aesthetic qualities and utility.

Bricks offer warmth and depth and enhance a space

with their inherent texture, colour and pattern.”

Architect Vince Alafaci and interior designer Caroline

Choker went for a mid-century modern feel, using the

Austral Bricks ‘La Paloma’ bricks in Miro and Gaudi. “We

love the elegant, slim-line proportions which add a

dynamic quality to the installation and reinforce the

mid-century look. We used the bricks’ every face and

surface, including the core holes that have been filled

with mortar on the floor.”

“To create a layered, eclectic conservatory space, I

chose Austral Bricks ‘Burlesque’ Indulgent White for the

back wall, Austral Masonry ’s ‘Breeze Block’ in Porcelain

for the feature wall and ‘Ultra Smooth’ in Tempo and

Lush for the floor. I was inspired by art deco brickwork

and aimed to draw in dappled light for a light, bright

and relaxed feel. Take advantage of the form of the

bricks themselves to create lines and shapes that are

not possible with other materials.”

Inspired by iconic Italian designer Giò Ponti, Ryan Russell

dimensions. Bricks were laid in a 3-D pattern using the

‘Burlesque’ collection in Indulgent White, Smashing Blue

and Sublime Steel. “The texture becomes 3-D where

floor meets wall,” the designers explain. Crisp white

furniture and accessories complement the brickwork.
