What brick did you use for narrow, single story home?

Hi, we are building a narrow single story home. We are deciding between 2 bricks. Phg Smokey Grey and Austral Leisure. We are thinking of using a dark grey roof, window frames and garage door. Has anyone used these bricks to build a small home? Can I please see photos? Thank you

Hi, I saw you're building in Austral, if you have time before your selection appointment, you can ask PHG and Austral bricks to send through a list of homes/addresses that have used these bricks previously (and they can also provide a list of where specific colours from Monier roofs have been used). There are lots of homes in Willowdale and a couple in Oran Park that have used these 2 bricks and you could see how they look on slim/narrow houses. After spending a couple of days driving around we opted against Smokey Grey as the indents in the bricks are quite noticeable from the street and that just personally was not what we were looking for. Good luck!

Thank you, I will do that. What brick colour did you end up going with?
