Bricks as images 7

39 Liverpool St. Commerce building





This massive 5 storey building would have been constructed through a reinforced concrete structure, and therefore the brickwork plays a non-structural purpose.
The bricks are arranged in a English bond with flush mortar joints.
Bricks are of a standard 110x76x230 size, arranged various colours, and smooth surfaces.

Actually, the building have many decorative form : Dark blue bricks and red bricks for double flemish bond style, and there are many kinds of corbel terms. Corbel, bullnose and headers form around doorway.
