Indian studio Renesa has used earthy-hued masonry to form the entire facade and interior of a brick manufacturer's showroom in New Delhi.
The retail space was conceived for local company Jindal Mechno Bricks, which has been producing bricks, tiles and pavers for more than 50 years.

Renesa designed the showroom as a celebration of the humble brick, which the studio describes as the "most resilient fundamental of construction".
In this spirit, the entirety of the showroom's facade is hidden behind reddish-brown bricks with blackened splotches.
Every surface on the interior is covered in bricks
The exterior is punctuated by a number of small square windows, with the bricks laid concentrically around them. Masonry also covers every surface of the showroom's interior, which Renesa said was designed to make customers feel as if they have "dived into the chambers of a classic brick kiln".
Slim bricks have even been used to create a barrel-vaulted ceiling.

As the bricks were fired at different temperatures, they vary in tone to create a mottled effect.
The colour of the bricks is also subtly altered by the sunlight that streams in through the front windows, sometimes casting them in a pale, peachy hue while at other times making them appear beige or blush pink.
