Think Brick Top 40

We're pleased to announce that Tarakan Street is in the Think Brick Top 40 shortlist, 2024.

The locally-made bricks give the social and affordable housing a warm domestic character, while also being chosen for their long life, low maintenance quality. The bricks were made just 17km from the site by Austral, radically reducing carbon in transport. Usually more carbon is used in transport than manufacture. The bricks are certified Carbon Neutral through Brickworks Climate Active program. Designed in partnership with NH Architecture, Tarakan Street's handsom bricks provide a backdrop to the trees and their shadows
