100 years of shaping Australian homes

Bowral Bricks has marked 100 years of helping to shape Australia’s urban landscape and homes.

Founded in 1922 in the New South Wales Southern Highlands, Bowral Bricks has contributed to some of Australia’s most admired and historic buildings with the finest product from dry-pressed clays and shells.

The history is reflected in Bowral Bricks’ traditional craft and techniques and use of locally sourced clay that reflects the colours and textures of Australian landscapes. The bricks’ natural, unique colour variations create an authentic appeal.

Designed to last, these bricks have helped make some of Australia’s most enduring landmarks, from the distinctive curves of Koichi Takada’s Arc by Crown to Garden House by Placement Studio and Nest.

To mark its 100-year anniversary, Brickworks has released a publication of 100 Years of Bowral Bricks, featuring some of its most iconic projects.
