Reinforced Brick Cladding
Eight and twelve storey steel blocks comprise this ballet school and student residence. The rain screen façade has square terracotta tubes set horizontally in bays, each bay formed from random lengths and colours of tube.
The terracotta tubes had to be accurately finished to locate within the steel framework. Not all the German material was able to be factory finished both efficiently and to the accuracy required. Brick Cutters was retained to cut the factory supplied terracotta to length and assemble the thousands of sections into labelled packages for delivery and assembly on-site in a detailed work sequence.
Bekynton Field is the largest new development at Eton College since it was founded.
West Elevation arches were set out & hand cut at Brick Cutters' workshops. The project won 4 titles and high praise from Judges at the 2006 Brick Awards. The Renaissance Hotel was completed in 2010 in similar style and quality.
This fine example of carved brickwork is for Draycott House in Chelsea. Brick Cutters prepared and supplied the fully washed rubbers, and shared the bricklaying role for the fine jointed ashlar work with the brick carvers, Daniel Mundy and colleagues.
Bromley Road is a residential block for which Brick Cutters produced 36 brick clad hanging soffit hidden stainless steel lintels to balconies and openings, several thousand plain cuts, pistol stretchers and cut & bonded external angles.
