Featured project

St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School.

Architectural face brickwork to the Ascot campus redevelopment — glazed white brick throughout, with curved radial reveals, herringbone soffits and a sculpted amphitheatre wall built to setout. Exposed on every face, so every perp, every bond and every gauge had to hold across the job.

Project: St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School
Location: Ascot, Brisbane QLD
Sector: Education · commercial
Our scope: Architectural face brickwork & blockwork

Curved white face-brick amphitheatre seating wall under a waffle-slab soffit at St Margaret's Anglican Girls School, Ascot. — Sculpted amphitheatre seating wall — compound curves in glazed white brick with a herringbone capping, set out under the waffle slab.

Radial

Curved reveals cut and gauged on site

Glazed

White face brick, exposed every face

Herringbone

Capping, soffits and banding details

Setout

Built to architect’s geometry, no packing

Elliptical white brick doorway reveal with radial brick sill and curved returns. — **Elliptical entry reveal**Every course rolled through the curve and closed on the centreline — radial sill laid to a struck arc, no cut showing on the face.

Tall white face-brick columns supporting a steel-framed colonnade, with a herringbone plinth wall alongside. — **Colonnade columns**Full-height face-brick columns squared to the steel frame, with a stack-bond herringbone plinth running the length of the walkway.

Wide curved white brick reveal to a covered walkway entry, showing the radial sill and rolled returns. — **Rolled returns**The reveal turns through a full radius and back into stretcher bond without a break in gauge.

Curved white brick seating walls forming an indoor amphitheatre beneath a waffle-slab ceiling. — **Amphitheatre, complete**Opposing arcs, stepped ends and herringbone seat tops — all built off a chalked setout on the slab.

Two-storey white face-brick facade with black window frames and a curved brick entry opening. — **Facade elevation**Long stretcher-bond runs held level across the elevation, framing the openings and window heads.

Close view of a curved white brick doorway reveal with a radial brick threshold. — **Radial threshold**Tapered cuts fanned around the arc so the perps stay even from the springing to the crown.

White brick facade with a curved recessed entry, black-framed windows and concrete banding above. — **Recessed entries**Curved recesses set back off the building line, brick carried through the reveal and returned to the door frame.

Amphitheatre seating wall part-built, showing the herringbone capping being laid over the curve. — **Capping in progress**Herringbone seat capping fanned across the curve, each brick cut to keep the pattern true.

Curved white brick amphitheatre walls under construction with materials staged around the setout. — Setting out the arcs. Curved work like this is priced and programmed properly up front — it is slower per square metre than flat wall, and we tell you that at tender rather than at claim time.

Scale
