13 weeks, without the need for scaffolding. The hit and miss brickwork in the staircase windows give the impression that it is built using conventional masonry – the bricks visible through the windows from the inside and use of ceramic adhesive in the mould instead of traditional concrete backing.
The use of the latest ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) technology to make super slim panels, minimised the weight and removed the need for conventional steel reinforcement.
UCLH phase 5 Walker Court
The challenge of this project was that the brickwork – manufactured by Michelmersh Brick Holdings – needed to be built offsite, within precast panels and then driven 200 miles before being craned onto the building facade. The construction process did not need metal reinforcement and has been incredibly well received by designers. As scaffolding was not required to seal the building, working at height risks were dramatically reduced. Pilbrow and Partners were the architects behind this design, working alongside Swift Brickwork Contractors.

Walker Court The Walker Court project has introduced different heights and structures, bringing a modern present to this historical site. Designed by SODA, the nightclub is overclad using a lattice of hit and miss Bembridge brickwork, manufactured by Wienerberger and Ibstock Brick. The style of brickwork creates a veil like effect and houses LEDs programmed to produce a

light show, which peaks through the hit and miss wall. In contrast Tigra Multi (TBS) Glazed Engels Oeffelt was also used, using the stretcher bond, helping to create the contrasts of brickwork. The brickwork contractor for this project is Grangewood Brickwork Services.
York House, Kings Cross The new brick element is formed from an innovative arrangement of long format clay bricks in a staggered lattice, which form a self-supporting skin around the new highly glazed, CLT structure within. The brick lattice design – as a new addition to the principal elevation – needed to possess a degree of permeability so as to reduce its visual mass. dMFK Architects and Structural Engineers Webb Yates developed a proposal which was inherently efficient, self-supporting and allowed for a high degree of visual permeability. Forterra’s long format block was the ideal fit for the design, with closely-matched colour and a custom perforation arrangement that allowed the bricks to stack using vertical rebar through the overlapping elements, assisting Swift Brickwork in the construction.
