Making a bold branding statement on New York’s iconic 5th Avenue is usually reserved for luxury fashion brands. That’s why Brickworks’ new showroom is even more dramatic – because it makes a design statement to celebrate the beauty of their building products.
Bricks are part of New York’s architectural heritage and so this flagship store could not have a better location for Australia’s leading brick manufacturer, Brickworks, who entered the US market in 2018. You are attracted by a wide expanse of a glowing two-level façade and enter the space to discover a jewel-like glass brick staircase that sweeps up to the next level. Once you reach the second level you enter a large, open space that showcases Brickworks products and their expert team of associates who will guide your product search.
A dream comes true on 5th Avenue.
At Red we have always dreamed of designing great stores globally and now Brickworks 5th Avenue proudly stands amongst the world’s finest brands with 2 levels and a total space of just over 14,000 square feet.
Good lighting and strong views to the street blend with iconic clear Venetian Glass bricks, Chorus White stone laid in a French pattern, with La Palamo glazed white bricks, create an ambience of luxury and warmth that befits this exclusive new location.
