In this project, we had the exciting opportunity to work with Roman bricks, which are longer, slimmer, and more difficult to align than standard bricks. In fact, delivering an award-winning result with Roman bricks demands a level of technical precision that’s rarely seen today. An extra challenge in this project was the architectural complexity of the multi-level design - there are internal alcoves and visible external corners, all of which require intense and unrelenting attention to detail. The fact that the brick was the sole cladding means there are no other materials to hide any mistakes or irregularities. However, the result is clearly worth it. The cohesive look from the mass of clean-lined brick on the north side is especially impressive.
