The winners of the Think Brick Awards have been announced, with 25 projects being recognised from more than 330 entries.

Think Brick Awards, which marks its tenth year this year, celebrates excellence in the use of clay brick, concrete masonry and roof tiles by Australia’s best architects and designers.

Awards are granted across five categories: Honbury Hunt Commercial Award, Horbury Hunt Residential Award, Kevin Borland Masonry Award, Bruce Mackenzie Landscape Award, and Robin Dods Terracotta Roof Award.

The entries were judged by a jury of renowned local and international architects and experts including Guy Lake (Bates Smart), Clare Cousins (Clare Cousins Architects), Jeremy Edmiston (System Architects), Neil Durbach (Durbach Block Jaggers Architects), Cameron Bruhn (Architecture Media) and Elizabeth McIntyre (Concrete Masonry Association of Australia, Roofing Tile Association of Australia and Think Brick Australia).

The winner of the Robin Dods Terracotta Roof Award received a $15,000 cash prize and the other four award categories received a $10,000 cash prize. Each of the five award recipients also had the chance to win the Grand Prix Award – two business class tickets to the 2018 Venice Biennale.
