Brick Trend: White long-format brick slips.
White long-format slips continue to grow in popularity for projects seeking a clean, refined architectural aesthetic.
Used internally or externally, they can make spaces feel brighter, sharper, and more contemporary.
At Creative Brick Solutions, we’re seeing increasing interest in this look, with @rairies.montrieux offering a wide range of options within this tonal palette.

Glazed facades have always fascinated me - not just for their visual impact, but for the stories they carry across time.
From their historical roots to their contemporary reinvention, glazed ceramics continue to offer a unique dialogue between craft, materiality and architecture. They hold colour in a way few materials can - shifting with light, weather and perspective - bringing buildings to life in subtle, ever-changing ways.
In my latest blog post, I explore how glazed facades have evolved, why they remain so relevant today, and where I believe they are heading in the future.
If you’re interested in the intersection of architecture, material innovation and craftsmanship, I’d love for you to have a read. The link is in my bio 🤍

Blending brick colours can be hard to visualise.
That’s why we offer digital blends alongside @rairies.montrieux slip samples, helping you explore options quickly and specify with confidence.
Design with clarity, not guesswork.

Adding depth through detail.
Sawtooth brickwork is a simple way to elevate a façade, introducing shadow, texture, and movement through subtle projections.
• Turns flat elevations into dynamic surfaces
• Changes with light throughout the day
• Works as both a feature or full façade treatment
At Creative Brick Solutions, we see how small detailing can transform standard brick into something distinctive.
Our manufacturing partners @rairies.montrieux offer these bricks in an array of materials and colours to suit any project.

Blended bricks are a great way to add interest to a façade.
Subtle variations in tone and texture create a more natural, layered appearance, with light bringing out that detail throughout the day.
It’s a simple move, but one that often gives a building more character and longevity.
Worth considering early in the specification process.

Long-format slips - brick without the cost.
• Creates a clean horizontal rhythm
• Refines façades with fewer joints
• Achievable with brick slips for a lighter, more efficient build
Using slips with prefabricated systems can reduce weight, labour, and cost, all while delivering the same visual impact.
At Creative Brick Solutions, we’re seeing more architects take this approach to balance design and buildability.

Making an entrance with brick.
Vertical brickwork is a simple shift with big impact, drawing the eye upward, framing doorways, and creating a strong sense of arrival.
• Emphasises height
• Adds rhythm and shadow
• Defines entrances with clarity
At Creative Brick Solutions, we see how small changes in orientation can transform a façade.
Sometimes, it’s just about looking at a familiar material differently.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Creative BrickSolutions @creativebricksolutionsltd about my work with architectural ceramics and glazed brick, including a recent project that I collaborated with them for on Fetter Lane, London.
If you’d like to hear more about my story, and how clay and colour can enhance the language of a building, do give it a read! Link in bio.

Texture doesn’t always need a special brick.
• Protruding headers create shadow and depth
• Alternative bonds introduce rhythm and movement
• Standard bricks become far more expressive with simple detailing
At Creative Brick Solutions, we see how small changes can transform everyday materials into standout façades.
Sometimes, the simplest materials make the biggest impact.
