The process for choosing the right brick for this project was more streamlined than it normally is. Rather than assisting our client with finding a brick that matches with the historic and conventional architecture of the local area, we were approached with their choice brick already established. The St Albans Blend is a 65mm handmade brick, allowing for a creased appearance and an array of tones that give each brick a wholly unique appearance. The base colour consists of that classic brick red, but to varying degrees, each brick takes on darker burnt shades, as well as a stand out white.
MBS are committed to working closely with creative minds who have a strong and unique vision for their architectural pursuits. The Farmer who masterminded the project came to RSC and MBS with an established idea for what he wanted to create. Creative confidence like what was displayed in this project represents a rare yet necessary attitude towards construction projects that lead to innovation in the industry. This view excites the MBS team and we are always looking to be a part of more projects developed within this mindset, such as the Oldfields Farm.
The multi-tone bricks were the perfect choice for a project like this, and provided results that are visually stunning. Red tiles were utilised for the roof on this build which complements not only the style of brick, but also elements such as doors and window frames. This was a project we were proud to be a part of, and it is one that showcases the quality of our stock in a truly unique fashion.
