Twenty six projects across Australia have been recognised in the 2015 Think Brick Awards.

Now in its ninth year, the Think Brick Awards celebrate the innovative design and exploration of some of the world’s oldest building materials – clay brick, concrete masonry and roof tiles.

Selected from a record number of 300 entries, this year’s winners were recognised across five categories: the Horbury Hunt Commercial Award, the Horbury Hunt Residential Award, the Kevin Borland Masonry Award, the Bruce Mackenzie Landscape Award and the Roof Tile Excellent Award.

Category Winners received a $10,000 cash price, with the Grand Prix Award prize winner receiving a trip-for-two to the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture.

The winners and finalists from the 2015 Think Brick Awards are:
