Reclaimed brick

Reclaimed bricks are, simply, bricks that have been previously used within a different construction. Due to the extended lifespan offered by clay bricks, the bricks within buildings, walls, and other features being demolished are often re-usable. 

These bricks are prioritised by builders and specifiers due to their weathered look, which can create a beautiful lived-in feel compared to newer clay bricks. Reclaimed bricks are also used because they can blend better with older buildings, creating extensions or replacing elements without leaving jarring changes in colour. They are sought after for their attractive distressed appearance, compared to the bright consistency of new bricks.

Reclaimed bricks, can be used for paving projects, repairing or extending an existing property, and creating a new building with a rustic look.

Antique brick

Reclaiming Antique Brick is a time-consuming and delicate process that begins by carefully dismantling existing buildings and hand-cleaning the brick of the original mortar. The beauty of centuries-old brick is unmatched and adds one-of-a-kind appeal to walls, fireplaces, patios and more. Traditionally handmade and fired in kilns, Antique Brick comes in a myriad of sizes, shapes and colours.

Clay facing bricks 

Facing bricks – sometimes referred to as face bricks – are manufactured to use as facing materials. These usually consist of exterior walls of buildings, but, equally, they have their fair share of uses as inside structural building materials.

Possess incredible physical strength, resistance, water absorption, and a very uniform appearance. There are many advantages of these bricks if you’re planning to develop a commercial building soon, not least because there are so many variations of facing bricks and blocks readily available to you. This means you aren’t heavily restricted to standard textures and colours, including red, brown or grey.

Types of facing bricks: Extruded bricks, stock bricks, arch bricks, waterstruck bricks, handmade bricks, glazed Bricks

Hackney New Primary School Building

Hackney New Primary School is a mixed-use project with affordable housing within the Kingsland Road Conservation Area. The scheme fuses two building typologies – a courtyard school, accommodating 350-pupils aged four to eleven and an 11-storey residential point block, containing 68 apartments and ground floor retail accommodation.

It represents an exemplary approach to hybrid architecture combining different functions without losing the strengths of either the original educational or residential building typologies. Designed around a cloistered courtyard, the school has an inner-city character. The adjacent residential tower reads as both a landmark for the development as a whole and as a central European type apartment block with its covered loggia at street level.

This project showcases the combination of traditional craft and modern methods of construction. The design employs brick-faced structural precast stringcourses Schöck-connected to the in-situ frame (instead of conventional steel shelf angles) to support the hand-laid flush-pointed brickwork.

The plan of the apartment tower is symmetrical about a diagonal axis, with its shape molded and walls pinched to create colonnaded façades corresponding with its peninsula site as it turns towards a diagonal street, a listed crescent and long views of London.

It is realised in brickwork that is curved, stepped and faceted, accommodating consistent apertures and loggias. Precast concrete components are a deep red colour derived from the red granite aggregate and red sand used in the mix to complement the brickwork.

The red brick is a Wienerberger “Lincoln Red” slop moulded waterstruck solid stock, with a golden brown dark mortar (1:1:6 cement:lime:sand) to match the red aggregate precast concrete elements. The pointing is flush/ full filled and then brushed with a wire brush to a 1-2mm recess.

The school courtyard brick is a glazed light ivory brick made by Klinker Covadonga, with a high lime content putty mortar. Each brick is hand-glazed so it has a unique character, with subtle differences in the translucency of the glazed finish. The pointing is flush/ full filled and then brushed with a wire brush to a 1-2mm recess. There are a limited number of specials with this brick type also used within the school courtyard. These include pistols, bull-nosed, double-bullnose, internal and external angled bricks (squints).

The façade design responds to the repetitive nature of an apartment building. Floors are paired, each one marked by a stringcourse of brick headers topped by a precast concrete sill. Loggias set within the masonry façades run the full height of the building and mediate between household and city.

This depth reduces overheating and provides each of the apartments with private sheltered outside space that is generously sized and far exceeding minimum standards. The interrelationship of façade and structure, together with this depth, define the building. Fundamentally, the combination of masonry walls and loggias, and their liminality, allow us to mediate between the world inside and the one outside, providing a dignified robustness and thresholds to inhabit.

Beautifully thoughtful in concept and exquisite in execution! The new development relates well as a corner site especially with the covered public walkway; far improving the previous relationship of the previous fire station to its immediate context.

Nice touch with the design of the precast concrete bench along the long side of the school for tired waiting parents to rest which appears very successful. Well chosen bricks and mortar along with the precast coloured concrete makes for a wonderful monolithic structure as intended. Definitely a masterclass in the unlikely marriage of an inner city school and block of flats!

Planning 1. The marriage between the school and the tower block of apartments is a successful one despite its proximity and tight urban site. The school relates well at ground level to its surroundings; it animates the street scene along with the soon to be occupied ground floor commercial units. 2. The new development relates well as a corner site especially with the covered public walkway; far improving the previous relationship of the previous fire station to its immediate context. Nice touch with the design of the precast concrete bench along the long side of the school for tired waiting parents to rest which appear very successful. Created 1 month ago, updated 1 month ago

Design 1. The complex master-planning of the tight urban corner site to house an inner city school for small kids along with with a tower of luxury flats was handled very well in design. Play-spaces and rooftops were wonderfully maximized where possible. A lot of thought and care have been given to the design and how things come together and how each element work with the operation of the school. Very impressive! 2. It is safe to say with the number of flats achieved within the tower block; the potential of site is very much maximized-it compares well with the existing tall block of flats located directly opposite; forming some sort of gateway as a pair. 3. The choice of the red brick is well considered as the architect guiding me through the visit explained its echoes some of the more prominent and mostly civic red brick buildings on that side of the Kingsland Road. The brick along with the choice of mortar and coloured pre-cast concrete structures read very well as a monolithic stoic structure as intended. The choice of the pale glazed bricks for the inner surrounds of the school as a contrast to the deep red exterior also functions and reads well. Created 1 month ago, updated 1 month ago

Construction 1. Quality of brickwork is consistently very very well done. The architect mentioned that they have mocked up various sample panels to achieve the exacting finish and mortar type they were after. 2. Brilliant overall execution in terms of construction. Especially to include the beautiful sculptural vaulted pre-cast concrete soffits to the colonnade semi-open public walkways around the corner building. 1 month ago Overall Brilliant impressive project! Clay bricks have been used to the max here; even as flooring in most parts of the school.

Seize - 230 x 75 x 13mm Thin series cladding bricks which are easy to install. Waterstruck brick look have a unique texture as a result of the use of water within the moulding and demoulding process. Using a traditional softmud process, wet clay is pressed into moulds lubricated with water to prevent sticking. Excess clay is then struck from the top of the moulds, hence the term “waterstruck”. . . . . . . . #brickhouse #bricklookwall #brick #archidaily #Architects #interiorcladdingbricks #interiordesigners #interiorideas #elevationbricks #facadedesign #thinbricks #brickpannels #fauxbricks #bhaktibricktiles #bhaktibricks (at Seawoods Grand Central Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBY2KnFAKl/?igshid=r5v9lchc4h5u
