SPONSORED BY 4 ‘There is a quiet and discreet confidence to this project, skill that might at first be overlooked, but on closer inspection becomes evident through the attention to composition, to detail and to the crafting of the beautifully sculpted brick stair voids. ‘It is a pleasure to encounter such restrained architectural craft: all too rare in this time of ‘look-at-me’ public architecture. This project quite rightly melds into the historic warehouse street. The private gallery is a gift to the public.’ ARCHITECTS’ CHOICE AWARD THE WHITTY THEATRE Architect: Van Heyningen and Haward Architects Brickwork Contractor: Berkshire Brickwork Contractors Ltd Brick: Michelmersh: Freshfield Lane Luckley House Location: Berkshire A high degree of thought was necessary on this project which – with the sensitivity owed to the adjoining Grade II listed building – compelled the use of a bespoke solution. The blended brick of choice not only works harmoniously with the building but performs aesthetically, offering a ‘simple appearance in a complex internal environment’. beyond the ‘warm palette’ - sound functionality. The unique requirements of a performance facility, such as acoustics, make this project an example of how to effectively integrate a material into an existing building achieving - Voted for by architectural students to seasoned Architects, this is one award winner that exemplifies architectural finesse.

The judges commented that the property was ‘well organised, beautifully detailed and an exemplary use of brownfield land to make a new home’. The judges were impressed by the innovation on such a demanding site where the blurring distinction between the inside and outside of the property provide the owner with an extended sense of space, making the overall project a wonderful environment in which to live. The judges said that the client should be ‘proud’. The basket weave effect of the brickwork is something to behold. The use of shaped brick creates a tactile quality that softens the appearance of the building. The blue bricks blend fantastically with the pre-existing wall on the plot. All in all a ‘well presented’ and ‘beautiful house’. SPONSORED BY 7 BRICKAWARDS2016WINNERSBROCHURE BEST SMALL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AWARD FOUNDRY MEWS Architect: Project Orange Brickwork Contractor: Kenzo Construction/Oliver Connell & Sons Brick: Wienerberger: Eastfield Grey, Bamburgh Red Stock, Hague Cream DF Location: London ‘A carefully conceived and beautifully detailed revision of a tight site with an innovative and interesting combining of residential and commercial uses within shared courtyards’. Foundry Mews’ design concept allows the courtyard to run the whole length of the site facilitating ground floor access to the SPONSORED BY 8 commercial units as well as a communal area for residents. The ‘delightful brickwork’ is highly commended and the ‘choice and use of materials creates a handsome development with good size and scale, which is sensitive to the historic use of the site and local vernacular’. The brick is used with faultless consistency throughout, with protruding and recessed headers used to good effect. The judges enjoyed the lively feel of the courtyard and the way the development works to create attractively light and airy spaces for residential use. BEST SMALL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AWARD HINDMANS YARD Architect: Foster Lomas Brickwork Contractor: FWD Brick: Wienerberger: Forum Smoked Prata Location: London The choice of brick works to create a luminary, yet distinctly private housing development within London’s Dulwich. The articulated brick facades are supplemented by dog-tooth detailing; a cunning reference to the traditional eave details seen on the neighbouring Victorian terraces. The judges especially enjoyed this as it ‘provides variety but maintains the simplicity and calm which pervades the project’. Wellbeing is clearly a consideration of the building, and the judges prized its seamless visual connectivity from house to garden with high ceilings to maximise the amount of daylight residents enjoy inside. SPONSORED BY 9 BEST LARGE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AWARD PEABODY, ST JOHN’S HILL - PHASE 1 Architect: Hawkins Brown Brickwork Contractor: Lee Marley Brickwork Contractors Brick: Wienerberger: Staffordshire Smooth, Glazed Brick in red, yellow, orange & salmon Location: London This ‘stellar’ architectural project has attracted attention through its diverse building design, and the use of several types of brick. The judges were particularly impressed by the ‘thoughtful touches to the project, and the hard work of the architects to add interest through brick and its many variations of colour and detailing’. Communal spaces are generous and the glazedbrick tunnel ‘creates a means of wayfinding for residents’. The building has special significance as Peabody worked in partnership with local artist, Rodney Harris, who produced four brick reliefs that have been incorporated into the buildings’ facades. They are inspired by the estate’s history and include clothing from WWII, garden tools and a sink, which hark back to the communal washing facilities of the original estate. Additionally, in the maisonettes, the bricks are pushed back to form an intricate, aesthetic pattern. One judge commented, ‘the attention to detail in this project is exceptional. The nod to the site’s heritage is wonderful in keeping the past alive through modern architecture.’ SPONSORED BY 11 THE ARCHITECT’S CHOICE FOUR YEARS RUNNING.

As an extension to the existing library, the subtle relief patterning of a heritage red blend brick provides an understated aesthetic, which gives a distinct character without detracting from the overall flow between buildings. This was articulated by one judge as ‘blending in easily while simultaneously bringing its own unique contribution’. As well as providing an essential learning space fit for expanding young minds, brick has also been used to refocus the school’s sense of communal centre, through the tasteful use of brick archways and a new brick arcade. The quality of execution in these examples led to the judge’s summary: ‘exemplary brickwork’.
