24.01.2022 Arctic Lutyens Range The Arctic Lutyens range was an experiment that revolutionised the way we create colours. We were challenged to craft colours that bring a sense of coolness and elegance. After a fair bit of playing around with some cool new oxides and cements, we were able to formulate a fresh run of base materials that formulate masonry with a cool undertone. This colour range works to allow sustainable masonry to both feature and/or compliment modern approaches to... architecture. Sustainability is about pushing the boundaries of creativity to generate a new world of possibilities.

21.01.2022 Recycled & Rammed Screen - Innovative Masonry We see spaces as opportunities for sustainable innovation. This piece experiments with materials and artisan methodologies to formulate a recycled rammed earth screen. The layering is inspired by traditional rammed earth while the colouring is informed by our masonry colouring practice. The uniform cores are juxtaposed by the natural layering of the material.... The challenge of combing the recycled materiality and rammed methodology was balancing content and compaction. The recycled wood chip worked inversely to the process, meaning that timing and water content were critical for the application.

20.01.2022 Creating colours One of our greatest challenges, when working with recycled products, is establishing how varying materials influence colour variation. Oxide gives us the ability to transform colouring without impacting texture. This means that we can incorporated hundreds of different oxide colours and not impact the texture or performance of our Wood Stone bricks and blocks. ...

17.01.2022 Brick Bond types and sustainability When thinking about bond types, typically the 2 main determinants are aesthetic and labour cost. While these are both incredibly important, often overlooked is the ecological cost of the wastage caused by large numbers of off cuts. Next time you walk through a building site, check out the large amounts of masonry wastage filling the skip bins. What typically contributes to this immense wastage is the large quantity of breakages in transpo...rt and the number of onsite ‘cuts’ needed to satisfy bond types and wall lengths. When selecting bricks and bond types, module formats and fractions can help reduce the impact of masonry wastage onsite. Random bonding will allow for offcuts to be used in the wall while fraction bricks can be order to significantly reduce the number of cuts needed for most other bonds. The Lutyens range provides multiple fraction pieces to cater for near limitless bond types without the wastage of traditional masonry. 110mm = 1/5 190mm = 1/3 230mm = 2/5 290mm = 1/2 390mm = 2/3 600mm = full length 400mm Corners Working with @tziallas_architects we were able to develop a series of fractions and corners that worked to compliment bond types for their upcoming Mittagong project. The fractions and corner pieces work to create seamless masonry sections that work to contrast with the charred cladding sections. The ductility of the Lutyens range, paired with the fractions has allowed us to minimise the amount of wastage on site as well as on the invoice. Sustainable principles have the ability to save the cost on the environment as well as the cost on the client. #sustainable #sustainabledesign #sustainablearchitecture #bricks #blocks #masonry #interiordesign #recycledbricks #recycled #sustainability #sustainablebuilding #handcrafted #handmade #sustainableinnovation #altmaterial #alternativebuilding

04.01.2022 Crafting, curing and cutting charcoals Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things. - Theodore Levitt This week we were inspired by the Sponder House project in Byron by @hga.architects. The contrast in colour and material is articulately enhanced by a modern approach to building geometry.... We used Sponder house as the inspiration behind these unique Wood Stone cuts. The idea was to prototype a new masonry format that transforms light and shadowing to enhance and contrast colour. The bricks taper from 110mm to 90mm in depth to cast shadows and build texture. While the format is far smaller that what we anticipate maintaining, the prototype has worked to drive this weeks innovation in colouring and texture. Our goal is to handcraft masonry that allows architects, designers and builders to innovate a more sustainable future. #sustainableinnovation #sustainabledesign #interiordesign #sustainablearchitecture #recycledbricks #handcrafted #charcoal #shadows #bricks #brickwork
