high style | 5 For Brickworks Building Products ‘Style with Substance’ is much more than a slogan. It’s the reason why our brick brands – Austral Bricks®, Bowral Bricks®, Daniel Robertson® and Nubrik® – have evolved to become bywords in the Australian building materials market.

It’s also the reason bricks continue to be a staple building material, not just in conventional detached housing but also in a wide range of commercial, institutional and multi- housing applications.

Building design and community preferences have changed in recent decades and bricks have evolved with them.

Building requires a blend of skills in design, engineering, scheduling, economics and construction. Increasingly, many developers would add “diplomacy” to that list, as they negotiate the potential minefield of neighbourhood politics.

Silkwood Apartments is located in the leafy suburb of Gordon on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. As a specialist apartment builder, Buildform was confident it could meet its client’s usual expectations despite a tight budget and time frame and difficult access. The unknown was the reaction of local residents to the inevitable inconvenience.

“We decided to engage in a thorough local community consultation process whereby the locals were encouraged to attend an informal ‘get-together’ to discuss the various issues,” says Tony Jabbour, Buildform’s construction manager.

The project comprises 32 apartments, with an equal mix of two and three bedrooms over the five levels. The building occupies 1200 square metres set to the back of the 1700 square metre block, with an underground car park accessed from the lower end of the site.

As is common practice in Sydney, the building is constructed in cavity brickwork. The dominant facade finish is in Bowral Bricks Gertrudis Brown dry-pressed bricks, complemented by Austral Masonry Sydney Blend split face blocks from the GB Masonry® Heritage® series. These masonry units were also used in the extensive retaining walls that help tame the site’s complex slope. “These provided an excellent contrast to the face brickwork,” Jabbour tells us.

The inner leaf is constructed with Austral Bricks GP119 commons bricks and Mighty Bricks GP119, both one-and-a-half high units. Austral’s purpose-made commons are specifically designed for high strength and economy.

The face brickwork is simply detailed with neatly formed sills and a recessed course marking each floor level. “A small bricklaying crew was allocated to this project,” says Jabbour, “and briefed on the facade details and the overall quality that was expected. They rose to the challenge and performed exceptionally well.”

The Gertrudis Brown bricks, a firm Sydney architectural favourite, were chosen for their finely textured surface finish, crisp edges and rich colours. Their low maintenance requirements will also be appreciated for decades to come.

As well as winning the hearts and minds of local residents, Silkwood Apartments won the Best Home Units up to $300,000 category in the Master Builders Association awards, was a finalist in the ‘Apartment Project of the year – up to 10 Storeys’ in the HIA Awards, and secured the ‘Excellence in Bricks and Blocks’ award from the Masonry Contractors Association.

high style | 11 Park at Waterfront Newstead As building projects go, Mirvac’s Waterfront, Newstead development is big. Located on 10 hectares site of prime riverfront land just two kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, the planning, design and construction of the development’s various stages is expected to take 10 to 15 years.

The first stage, Pier, overlooks a 250-metre stretch of the Brisbane River and opened in mid-2011. The second stage, Park, the subject of this profile, was opened a year later. As its name suggests, this latter stage is set back from the river and surrounded by hectares of parkland. In all, 3.1 hectares has been developed as public open space and ownership transferred to Brisbane City Council. A further 1.8 hectares are publicly accessible but privately owned.

The Park building is set on a podium that houses the residents’ car park. The building is best described as a three-core design with two eight-storey cores surmounted by a sixteen-storey tower providing variation and articulation to the building massing.

In contrast to the Pier’s high-end luxury, the 102 Park apartments have been designed to comprise a more affordable mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. In addition, 380 square metres of retail/restaurant tenancies are located on the ground floor.

Although Newstead and its surrounding suburbs are home to heritage properties such as Newstead House, Brisbane’s oldest existing home, and the much-loved Breakfast Creek Hotel, the area is better known for its commercial and industrial history. Thanks to their location and excellent transport links, these suburbs have been shedding their past over the previous decade and undergoing extensive redevelopment, beginning with conversion of the iconic 19th Century brick woolstores into luxury apartments.

The designers of Park at Waterfront, Mirvac Design, a wholly owned design and architecture subsidiary of the Mirvac Group, picked up the woolstores’ materiality and decorated the building’s western facade with vertical brickwork panels separated by rendered horizontal elements.

They chose Terracotta from Austral Bricks Symmetry range. The colour choice is an obvious homage to the area’s heritage, however the finish of these bricks is very contemporary and sharp with even colouration. The design intent was for the brickwork to increase the thermal mass and give the whole complex a more human quality which is vital for a residential development.

The brickwork rises from the second to eighth levels. Every sixth course is recessed about 20 millimetres, creating a pleasing shadow line and breaking down the walling’s apparent mass. This simple technique is easily achievable thanks to the inherent modularity of brickwork.

Planning and design has begun on the next stage of this massive project. Further stages will be rolled out over the coming years as dictated by market demand.

high style | 13 4-6 Ellis Street Chatswood is just ten kilometres from the Sydney CBD so it’s not surprising that a high proportion of its residents live in units or apartments.

In contrast to its high-rise neighbours, this new apartment building at the end of a short, tree-lined street off busy Pacific Highway is a relatively modest four levels and presents a more stylish, residential character.

“Our brief was to design and document a building that suited the current Chatswood rental market,” says project architect Duncan Sanby. “We consulted with local real estate agents to determine the most popular accommodation types, price-points and apartment layouts”. The final mix was seven apartments with one bedroom and a study, and five with two bedrooms and a study, some over two levels.

The architectural style is contemporary, with the building form reflecting the internal layout of four quadrants grouped around a central circulation space. The dividing fin walls are articulated on the facade. The upper level is set back from the solid masonry base and capped with a butterfly roof.

The building’s reinforced concrete slabs are supported on loadbearing brick walls, with the exception of the top level which is clad in fibre-cement sheeting to a steel frame. The inner leaf of brickwork is constructed from commons bricks selected from Austral Bricks extensive range of purpose-made units.

For the exterior, the designers chose Austral Bricks Expressions Blackstone bricks to contrast with the white-painted concrete balconies. “The combination is quite striking and gives the building a commanding streetscape presence,” comments Kristin Utz, who worked on this project along with Ray Fung.

“We chose Expressions Blackstone bricks for their natural texture and colour, requiring almost nil maintenance over the life of the project,” Ms Utz adds. “By using a product that is structural as well as aesthetic, we were able to minimise the time scaffolding was required on the project and the cost and time required for the finishing trades.”

Utz Sanby was also responsible for the interior design, including selection of all finishes and the documentation of kitchens, bathrooms and built-in joinery which resulted in a very unified design and a high standard of fit-out for a relatively modest $4.3 million.

high style | 15 Sydney’s Upper North Shore suburb of Gordon has many fine Federation-era houses with a diversity of architectural styles including Tulkiyan (Arts and Crafts) and Eryldene (Georgian Revival), both heritage listed.

The suburb is cleaved by the mighty Pacific Highway, which is the location of The Gordon, a five-storey building holding 37 apartments in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. The location capitalises on excellent transport links as well as retail facilities and restaurants.

Despite the busy highway, the area has a leafy, bushland setting, with quality homes sitting on large lots. The Gordon sits comfortably in the neighbourhood streetscape, its young landscape, a balance of native and exotic species, consistent and sympathetic with the area. Half of the species selected for The Gordon are endemic to the area.

The building structure is concrete with non-loadbearing brick partition walls and external cladding. “The challenge of the project was to establish a bulk, scale and materiality link to the adjoining five-storey residential flat building and the two- storey heritage house adjoining the site’s southern boundary,” explains project architect Stephen Bowers who was assisted by Kuin Chua- McIntyre, Annie Zhou and Ronaldus Reza. “Brickwork was a key to achieving this outcome.”

Bowers’ client was also looking for a smooth finish while retaining the low maintenance qualities that brick is famous for. “We wanted to capture the look and feel of a rendered surface without all its associated problems,” he says.

To achieve this appearance, the main face bricks were chosen from Austral Bricks Ultra Smooth series. As their name suggests, these bricks have a smooth, matt surface. Two colours were chosen from a palette of six: Chili and Tempo. They clad the majority of the facade, accented by Black Angus dry-pressed bricks, a recent addition to Bowral Bricks® celebrated range.

The result is an apartment building with excellent acoustic, fire and thermal control. As well as low maintenance “The architectural style is contemporary and responds well to the materiality of brickwork and its traditional elaborations,” Stephen Bowers concludes.

high style | 17 20 Tryon Road

Tryon Road in the Sydney Upper North Shore suburb of Lindfield has an unusual claim to fame. Iva Davies, founder of the iconic ‘80s new wave rock band Icehouse, wrote the song which gave the band its name when he was living at number 18. The song went on to be an international hit and one of their signatures.

Lindfield has long been a popular suburb with good housing stock, schools, restaurants, shops and excellent transport connections. So it’s no surprise that a new luxury apartment complex has just been completed at 20 Tryon Road, near Lindfield Avenue and within easy access of the Pacific Highway. “It is a very good area,” explains Robert Chen, general manager of Greenseason Development, “very convenient, near shops and the Lindfield railway station.”

The building houses 27 apartments over six levels, with accommodation ranging from one to four bedrooms. There are two levels of car parking in the basement which is accessed from Milray Street. Pedestrian access is from Tryon Road into the hollow of the U-shaped building. The building structure is concrete columns and floor slabs partially clad in brickwork supported on shelf angles.

The facade is strongly articulated in plane, colour and texture. The top storey is set well back and the rendered private balconies punctuate the facade, reducing its visual impact. Rendered concrete walling sits against a backdrop of face brickwork constructed in Bowral Bricks Shorthorn Mix, a classic selection from Bowral’s prestigious range of dry-pressed clay bricks.

Why choose brick, we asked Greenseason’s Robert Chen? “We like brick,” he responded simply. “We build a lot of buildings and they all use brick.” Undoubtedly the low maintenance requirements of self-finished bricks are a bonus as is their familiar and well accepted colour and texture. Brickwork also offers thermal and acoustic advantages and buyers appreciate the solidity of brick construction.

In a newspaper interview Iva Davies described Lindfield as “a beautiful, leafy conservative area”. Like all of Sydney it has changed since he was resident in the 1980s. However his description still holds true and it will continue to be so with the introduction of well designed and constructed developments such as this.

32 | high style Macquarie University Commerce Building The Commerce Building is DEM’s eighth Macquarie University project and the most sustainable and energy efficient to date, while retaining a high level of personal comfort for staff and students.

The building was envisioned as a landmark, sited at the entrance leading from the rail interchange and setting the theme for a new mixed-use commercial/university precinct. “There was a conscious effort to make this more of a statement,” says Rudi Valla, DEM’s partner in charge of the project. He and design partner Jon Pizey acted as lead design coordinators.

The university has well-established building standards. “It has a very strong masterplanned requirement for a masonry character throughout the university campus and a particular palette of brick that’s been a unifying material that the university has adopted for many years to tie the various buildings into a unified campus,” Valla explains.

Although DEM has previously implemented various environmentally sustainable design features in various previous Macquarie projects, here they recommended a mixed-mode approach, blending an operable facade ventilation system and other passive design principles with artificial heating and cooling.

Brickwork is also an essential component of this design. “It’s a matter of how and where you use it,” Valla considers. “We have used the good thermal mass capabilities of brick to provide shielding on the east and west facades of the building, the sides subjected to the greatest heat loads. We created a series of ‘bookends’ for the two pavilion buildings that make up the complex. They are constructed predominantly of brick with very little window openings. We then oriented most of the windows to the north and south to pick up northern sun and natural light from the south, all appropriately shaded to avoid unwanted heat gain.”

Structurally, the Commerce Building is conventional with reinforced concrete frames supporting post-tensioned floor slabs. “We don’t like to have the concrete slabs protrude through the brickwork as it detracts from the building’s appearance and creates waterproofing problems,” says Rudi Valla. “So we tend to rely on the internal skin sitting on the concrete frame and the external skins supported off shelf angles.”

Valla believes brickwork “has several characteristics that are very desirable. It has low embodied energy, and very good durability and maintenance aspects, which is important to the university.”

44 | high style The boutique hotel concept emerged in the 1980s, quickly spreading from New York and London to major cities and resorts across the world.

The Art Series Hotel Group took this a step further with three luxury facilities in Melbourne themed after great Australian artists: Charles Blackwood, John Olsen and Adam Cullen.

The Cullen Hotel was the first in the series and possibly the most controversial, decorated with over 400 works by the “bad boy” of contemporary Australian art including two life-size fibreglass cows in the foyer.

The hotel occupies a high profile corner site in the heart Prahran, one of Melbourne’s premier shopping and entertainment precincts. There are 113 apartments and six penthouse suites over its seven levels, as well as retail tenancies at ground level.

The prominent location and upmarket presentation demanded a premium façade material. Austral Bricks Elements Zinc semi-glazed bricks “were pretty much always our first choice,” says Jackson Clements Burrows project architect Rob Kennon. Their metallic finish “had a bit more intrigue. That shimmer and sparkle is inherent in their materiality.”

JCB was responsible for the design concept and development through to town planning approval. Their work was then passed over to Capitol Commercial Architecture, Asian Pacific Building Corporation’s in-house design department, which took the project through to completion.

Kennon describes the façade design as a “very strong push and pull concept,” the most prominent expressions of this being the balconies, expressed on the western façade and recessed along the Commercial Road frontage. Although the Cullen Hotel is not tall, the brickwork gives a more monolithic appearance. “We wanted to feel the weight of the building, for it to be well grounded and have a sense of mass,” Kennon explains.

“It was a bold move for Jackson Clements Burrows to go with Elements Zinc bricks,” Capitol Commercial Architecture’s Jeff Porter considers, “but I think it’s been a very successful choice.” The judges of the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Hot List clearly agree, describing the Cullen Hotel as “cleverly designed” with “visual provocation (awaiting) at every turn.”
