Split decision

Paul Hocking says that Hocking Constructions is a small family business, founded by Paul’s grandfather about 40 years ago. He currently works with his father, Rob, who is planning to retire soon, when the business will pass to Paul.

While Hocking Constructions works with PGH Bricks on many projects, this was the first time they worked with the Morada bricks. They said the bricks were the perfect choice for the aesthetic the homeowners wanted.

“The homeowners wanted a masculine/ industrial feel, but still soft at the same time.”

He says that the slimline design of the Morada Splits enabled the design to be realised in an elegant way. “A lot of the design revolved around the bricks with the black and the white combination, with the black being a bit more masculine and the white bringing that softer element,” he says.

“It was a family home, but they wanted an inner courtyard where you wouldn't really know you were in the inner city, and I think they did really well.”
