A big thank you to the @krausebricks family for giving me a peek into the world of brick making. Patrick and Klynton truly are a testament to the work they do.
There is so much more from this trip I will be sharing with you all in the days to come. And even more that I won't be because honestly I was too busy just taking it all in that I forgot to get footage.
Stay tuned and be sure to like and follow @krausebricks to see the full potential of their products.

Matraville ā In Praise of Shadows
This project by Matt Woods is a refined exploration of masonry, where restraint in materiality allows complexity in detailing to take precedence. Utilising a custom Lutyens blend coloured with fly ash, the brickwork carries a depth of tone that responds subtly to light and shadow throughout the day.
Arches, soldier coursing, and curved brick elements are carefully resolved, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship and control. These details come together to express the enduring potential of masonry within the contemporary Australian context.
The project draws from traditional bricklaying techniques, reinterpreting them through a modern lens. It stands as a quiet reassertion of artisanal skill, where the craft of masonry is not only preserved, but redefined for a new generation of residential architecture.

Watch 17 minutes of careful restoration in 17 seconds.
A thick concrete spill from formwork hardened across delicate white Palermo brick.
Most people think brick cleaning is just spraying acid and rinsing it off.
Itās not.
This is slow, careful work removing concrete without damaging the brick beneath.
Concrete on brickwork is never idealā¦
but when it happens, it can be restored.
Thatās the craft behind Hi-Def Brick Cleaning.
