Building Green with Recycled and Waste Brick Inlay
Where Aesthetics Meet Sustainability
In modern construction, beauty and sustainability no longer need to compete. The Myers Street project in Geelong is a shining example of how these two values can coexist in harmony. With Form Brick’s advanced brick inlay system and the use of recycled bricks, this development not only stands out visually but also contributes meaningfully to the future of green architecture.
Recycled Brick Inlay: A Smarter Way to Build
Brick inlay is transforming how architects and developers approach building facades. Instead of traditional bricklaying—which is time-consuming and labor-intensive—brick inlay allows thin brick facings (also known as brick snaps) to be embedded directly into precast concrete panels.
What makes Myers Street truly unique is its use of recycled and by-product bricks supplied by Form Brick & Krause Bricks. These environmentally friendly materials reduce construction waste while adding a rustic, authentic charm to the building’s exterior. It’s a solution that blends sustainability with timeless design.
Eco-conscious Design in the Heart of Geelong
By integrating recycled brick into precast concrete panels, the project streamlines construction while delivering a warm, natural look that reflects the character of the surrounding environment.

Design & Aesthetic: Natural Beauty with a Modern Edge
A building’s façade is its identity—and at Myers Street, that identity is bold, sustainable, and beautifully crafted. The use of recycled bricks introduces a palette of earthy reds, weathered tones, and organic textures that give the structure a unique personality.
Unlike traditional brickwork, brick inlay systems offer a seamless finish with fewer minimal vulnerabilities to aging or damage. The result is a façade that looks handcrafted but is built to endure.
Structural Benefits: Strength Without the Upkeep
One of the standout advantages of brick inlay construction is its durability. Traditional brick facades often require ongoing maintenance, but brick inlay panels are virtually maintenance-free once installed.
Combined with the strength of precast concrete, the system offers excellent resistance to weather, moisture, and time. And with the added benefit of using recycled materials, the project delivers long-term performance with a lighter environmental footprint.
Sustainability in Action: From Materials to Mindset
At Form Brick, sustainability is more than a feature—it’s a philosophy. The Myer Street project reflects this commitment by using recycled bricks that reduce landfill waste and conserve natural resources.
The precast process also minimizes material waste and speeds up construction, while the thermal properties of brick-faced panels help regulate indoor temperatures—leading to greater energy efficiency.
