In Partnership with Brickworks

Exemplifying the artisanal spirit for which the Italian city of Venice is known, the Venetian glass brick collection, exclusive to Austral Bricks, is the result of pure innovation, generating a collection of superior glass bricks that cater specifically to the evolving requirements of designers and specifiers.

The latest addition to the collection is a new colour, Emerald Green, which is manufactured in the fabled Italian city and is available in an array of sublime finishes – natural, frosted, polished and semi-polished.

Cognisant of the fluid nature of modern design and recognising the rise of biophilic design trends in urban areas, the Emerald Green colourway has been developed by Brickworks in direct response to increased demand for tonal offerings that reference the natural environment.

This significant release further solidifies Brickworks’ reputation as a market leader in product innovation, generating a hard-cast glass brick that will serve to elevate the biophilic principles of the built environment and soften the harshness of the modern cityscape through soothing natural colours.

While no doubt aesthetically beautiful, glass bricks also feature numerous functional benefits: the translucence of the product not only allows for the introduction of daylight but provides privacy for interior spaces as well. Featuring superior thermal performance compared to standard glazing options, glass bricks are an environmentally friendly solution for residential and commercial buildings alike.
