just an interesting brick building....




The Mornington Centre in Phillip Bay, on Melbourne's offskirts
Architect: Lyons
"The final embossing design mimics a knot hole, with concentric rings like relief lines on a map, a “thumb mark” in one corner, and a pronounced land around the periphery."
the building creates a grainy timber like/beach house facade out of clay bricks of varying neutral shades. It forms a kind of a mosaic; which i found interesting, it adds a kind of softness to brick.
