SUCCESS AT BRICK AWARDS
Michelmersh collects four of the fifteen accolades at leading
industry awards
Michelmersh Brick Holdings Plc (AIM: MBH), the specialist brick
manufacturer and landfill company, is delighted to announce that it
collected four of the fifteen accolades at this year's Brick
Awards, held last night at The Hilton, Park Lane in London. The
Company won 'Best Refurbishment Project', 'Best Public &
Education Building', 'Best Urban Regeneration Project' and the 'BDA
Chairman's Award'. Now in its 39th year, and hosted by the Brick
Development Association ("BDA"), the Brick Awards celebrate
excellence in design and construction using brick.
Richmond Adult Community College is a center of excellence for
adults learning, training and personal development. With a more
accessible and effective, sustainable teaching environment it was
clear that Duggan Morris Architects' design was going to headline
the evening. With a combination of new build and refurbishment
components integrated into the competition winning scheme, the
College collected the titles of 'Best Refurbishment Project' and
the 'Best Public & Education Building'. The new buildings are
designed to complement and differentiate themselves from the
Edwardian facade, wrapped in a softly textured brick skin of
Charnwood Handmade Horsham Red and Freshfield Lane Machine Made
First Quality bricks.
De Rijke Marsh Morgan Architects' design for the redevelopment
of the Heygate Estate (Trafalgar Place), commissioned by Southwark
Council and managed by Lend Lease, aims to restore Elephant and
Castle to its former glory as a thriving, desirable place to live
and visit. Winner of Best Housing Design Award, Trafalgar Place
uses a rich combination of Freshfield Lane Machine Made Danehill
Yellow, Selected Light, First Quality and Anthracite bricks built
proficiently by Lee Marley Brickwork Ltd.
Eight Artillery Row was presented with the BDA Chairman's Award,
bestowed upon private or public sector new-build accommodation
considered to have particular sustainable and social qualities,
whilst retaining a relationship to its environment. Make's design
proposed the refurbishment and extension of an existing office
building into private residential accommodation, plus ground floor
retail space. Details and materials include a Charnwood bespoke
brick blend, introduced to draw from the fine examples of historic
buildings within the nearby Westminster Cathedral Conservation
Area.
Commenting on the Company's awards success, Frank Hanna, Group
Commercial Director of MBH, said: "We are extremely proud to
receive such recognition across a wide range of technical, craft
and building categories. These recognised awards are testament to
our workforce's commitment to maintaining our high standards of
products, customer service and unrivalled attention to detail. All
these attributes combine to make our bespoke products the choice
materials of acclaimed and renowned architects across the UK."
