An elegant new designer outlet has landed in
King Street, in Perth’s fashionable west end.
It’s chic and sophisticated, and housed in a
gorgeous heritage building. Louis Vuitton,
Chanel and Tiffany are just down the street.
The Brickworks Building Products Design Studio
at 67 King Street is a showroom for Australia’s
most stylish and innovative building materials
from such iconic brands as Austral Bricks,
Bristile Roofing and Auswest Timbers.
The Design Studio, the first of its kind in the West,
joins those in Sydney’s CBD (50 Carrington
Street), Melbourne’s design precinct (490 Swan
Street, Richmond), and Adelaide (392 South
Road, Richmond).The network will be
completed shortly with openings in Brisbane
and Hobart.
The Perth Design Studio was designed by
leading architects Fratelle Group, reflecting
Brickworks’ commitment to supporting and
engaging with designers, builders and home
owners.
Upon entering through the heritage portal, the
space opens into an uncluttered arrangement
of low-key displays, with the focus being on
informal gathering spaces to allow customers
and Studio consultants to discuss projects
and requirements, and select from the vast
array of products marketed under the
Brickworks Building Products banner.
A design highlight is a captivating multi-
coloured, perforated brick wall, inset with two
large screens connected to iPads to allow
viewing of plans and other imagery. Keen eyes
will admire nearby bespoke desks made from
beautiful marri supplied by Auswest Timbers.
The space will also host events and
presentations that will attract building industry
professionals.As well as catering facilities,
including a full-size kitchen, the Perth Design
Studio has a technical library and two
boardrooms set up for teleconferencing.
The Design Studio is a very exciting
development for Brickworks as it provides the
Brickworks brand with a premium street profile
in a high end location.
The Brickworks Building Products Perth
Design Studio is open Monday to Saturday
from 10 ‘til 6, and Sunday by appointment.
