Bond: The building utilises a stretcher bond for all brick sections, except for where the brick meets the concrete façade on ground level.

Jointing: At ground level, the brick joints appear to be quite messy - varying between raked and flush depending on whether the joints have been repaired or not. At higher levels however, all joints appear to be raked mortar joints.

Structural: All brick sections displayed are structural

Surface Texture:  There are two main type of brick used in the construction of the building. The main brick type consists of relatively smooth/slightly-pitted texture, while the minor brick type is very rough and textured.

Colours: There are two main colours used in the construction of this building – firstly, a flecked mid-dark brown and secondly, a light honey colour used for the corner sections

Defects: The mortar joints clearly visible from ground level were messy – the mortar varied in colour, thickness and joint type, indicating that reasonably unsuccessful repairs have been made over time.
