We present modern brick architecture and outdoor living solutions to capture your imagination.

Bricks, clay blocks, roof tiles and pavers are among the most versatile and modern building materials. They allow the implementation of architectural fantasies as well as varied and aesthetic designs. Wienerberger Building Solutions provide interesting and architecturally valuable solutions for the entire building envelope and simultaneously create a healthy indoor climate. Constructing with brick

s, clay blocks, roof tiles and pavers means constructing according to one’s personal desires and ideas. The architectural potential of these clay materials can be found in many of Wienerberger’s reference projects.

A fifth façade facing the fjord 🌊🏠
Completed in 2024, the single-family house reflects Norwegian traditional wooden architecture but supplemented by prominent extensions in red brick.
The product choice was key: “The location by the sea required materials that can withstand salt spray,” explains Line Stokholm, partner and general manager at Kile Stockholm Arkitekter.
Located just outside Drøbak’s conservation zone but surrounded by traditional white timber homes, the design needed to balance materials with local context. “Designing this house was an exciting challenge, both because of the strict zoning regulations and the steep terrain,” he further explains.

For the cladding Actua Natural Red roof tile was a centerpiece of the architectural concept – a modern flat double-seam system which can be used on both vertical and horizontal planes. On the roof and all other surfaces of the extensions, the Actua Natural Red becomes the defining element.
Located on the coastline of the Oslofjord, this house impressively demonstrates, how tiles on roof and façade shape a resilient home that connects tradition and modernity.

Heritage, reinterpreted in red ❤️☀️🔋
Installing photovoltaics on a historic building not only improves its energy performance but can also enhance its visual appeal. Blending with the roof’s shade of red, this state-of-the-art in-roof solar-system preserves the building’s character of the historical school in Ludwigsburg.
The campus influences the cityscape remarkably. Being renovated several times and already being energetically upgraded, the next step was to renovate the roof surfaces – combined with the city’s wish to use the roof areas for renewable energy.

The roof needed to be completely renewed, involving a total removal of the old tiles, a new underlay membrane to keep out unwanted animal nesting and a visually fitting in-roof photovoltaic-solution. The decision: Alegra 8 Red Engobe combined with the Wevolt X-Frame PV solution in red. The in-roof PV system integrates almost invisible into the roof, and created a tone-in-tone surface. A photovoltaic system consisting of 129 red modules, results in a total capacity of 49.02 kWp or up to 49,000 kWh per year.
Rather than imitating history, the result is a visually calm, homogeneous red roof with a high-performance PV system fully aligned with today’s standards of performance and sustainability. The project demonstrates how renewable energy can be effectively integrated into a traditional roof.

Shifting perspectives 🖤
This student apartment building in Tampere challenges common perceptions and contradicting expectations. Tampere is one of Finland’s most student-dense cities – nearly 1 in 6 residents is studying. The demand for housing is growing.

Completed in summer 2025, Pinninkatu 47, also known as Willa Amanda, provides 101 modern apartments for students. Limited space required precise planning and an efficient construction strategy. The solution: a hybrid structural system with a high degree of prefabricated building components, such as modular bathrooms.
Its elegant dark shell vertically clad in Actua Black Titanium roof tiles with their clean, linear appearance create a structured façade that softens the building’s geometry while giving it a strong urban identity. These durable ceramic tiles are highly resistant to wind and frost, making them particularly suited to the Nordic climate. Beyond housing, the project aligns with environmental ambitions through its pursuit of sustainability certification, integrating material efficiency and prefabrication. Pinninkatu 47 suggests a new direction for urban student housing and it proofs, that innovation is not always about inventing new materials, but about seeing proven ones differently.

History cast in clay 🧱
With a history of clay and ceramic production, Tegelen in The Netherlands managed to visually integrate its cultural and historical identity into its new town centre. Known for generations for its use of clay and ceramic products, the city holds on to its tradition and redeveloped public space.

The redesign of the old town centre, stretching from Wilhelminaplein at the foot of St. Martins Church along Kerkstraat to Raadhuisplein, places paving at the centre of the narrative. Completed in 2025, the design transformed streets and squares into a cityscape that respectfully reflects its history.
Using a special mix of pavers, Bruno DF, Rosa waterstruck DF and Zonnebloem waterstruck DF, the landscape architects created a unique identity to the project.

A particularly charming detail: former clay wagons, locally remembered as Kageltjes, have been transformed into playful seating elements along the planted rail tracks.
The paving acts as climate-resilient infrastructure, historical narrative, and a stage for everyday urban life. "Tegelen now has a city centre that will last for many years to come”, says Thor Hendriks, partner and landscape architect at Burobol.

Dynamic student living in Frederiksberg 🏙️🧱
An architectural landmark along Åboulevard: the Harmonikahusene, also known as the Accordion Houses, connect the city and the campus, creating a centrepiece for the city of Frederiksberg. Appearing almost like an accordion playing across the cityscape, the architects played with brick, metal and vegetation and matched the colour scheme to the city’s red and green palette.
Paved with Juist bricks, the roof terraces add a grounded character to the outdoor areas on the highest level, whereas the base is clad with hand-sanded EW3521 Blauwrood bricks supplied by Egernsund Wienerberger A/S.
Consultant René Lemming explains: “The base forms the architectural foundation and sets the tone for the rest of the building.”
The tactile quality of the brick creates a human dimension at street level, anchoring the façade and creating a visual bridge between contemporary design and historic context.

Echoing the world of children – a playful terracotta transformation in Paris 👩🏻‍🏫🧱
What used to be a modest 1980s school campus now shines in brilliant white with a striking colour pattern. Studio Hybride Architectes transformed the La Lanterne School in Évry-Courcouronnes using brick materials, solving functional challenges while simultaneously redefining its architectural identity.

At La Lanterne School, brick was used to reorganize perception, strengthen the spirit of learning, and improve student participation. Through the intelligent use of material, an aging school has gained both a rejuvenated coherence and an updated character. Completed in 2025, the project demonstrates how terracotta can move beyond tradition into a contemporary role.

Knitted brick curtain - an expressive extension of the Student Association in Trondheim 🧶🧱
The headquarters of the Student Association Trondheim is not only the organizational centre of the association, but the cultural heart of the local student’s life.
Commonly known as “Samfundet”, the red round headquarters were built in 1929, when Trondheim had around 700 students. With the extension in 2024, the capacity of the building increased from 2,450 to 3,870 people.
Together with their team the architects Ida Midbøe Rognstad and Jon Morten Breidablik of Eggen Arkitekter wanted “to build a bridge between the old and the new, as brick has a long tradition as a building material in Trondheim”. With Iltarusko Retro, “a winered extruded brick with a natural, vibrant structure, the façade alternates between warm red and winered shades”. Besides the colour and the pattern, they needed a brick that works well in an open grid, where it is exposed for water to all sides. A strong and resistant material that handles frost well.
With its location in Elgeseter in Trondheim, the Society has many brick buildings in its vicinity. The architecture of the extension of Studentersamfundet “complements the existing building while also showing respect for it”.
