Two impressive hexagonal towers in London with facing bricks NATURE10 Brick E and Brick S

Karakusevic Carson Architects and David Chipperfield Architects designed Hoxton Press Towers in London’s Hackney

Hoxton Press on the Colville Estate, a housing development in Hackney, in East London was designed by world famous architects David Chipperfield Architects and Karakusevic Carson Architects.

‘NATURE10 Brick E’ as an ode to the character of the former industrial architecture

Cohousing Tivoli promotes social living environment in Brussels

The Tivoli building is situated in the new ecodistrict of Tivoli GreenCity in Laken, on one of the two plots reserved by citydev.brussels(1) for pilot projects. The building houses nine ground-floor apartments with a communal garden and communal roof terrace as well as two multifunctional communal areas.

An atypical facade inspired by the surrounding neoclassical architecture

The choice of the facing brick at the heart of architectural success

On the banks of the Quai Godefroid Kurth in Liège, an urban setting marked by a rich architectural juxtaposition, the Kurth project stands as a model of integration and harmony. Designed by Olivier Fourneau Architectes, this project combines offices and housing while ensuring a smooth transition between two emblematic buildings: a neoclassical bourgeois house and an art deco church dating from 1930. At the heart of this architectural success lies a crucial decision: the choice of the facing brick.

Block 5B in Nantes: the red/brown brick architecture as a link between the railway and the city

A versatile project gives colour to a new railway station district

In The French city of Nantes, the last fifteen years were marked by important investments for the “Euronantes” project, a new neighbourhood situated in between the historical centre, the central station and the banks of the Loire. Accommodations, offices, hotels, shops, sports and recreational areas : the whole neighbourhood was transformed into a dynamic urban area, where it is great to live, work and relax. One of the most original projects is “îlot 5B”, a group of buildings situated in front of the railway and that helps to demarcate the northside. RAUM Architects’ project is characterised by the nuanced brown/red bricks, rounded façades and window openings with lattice. The project was nominated for the Prix de l’Equerre d’argent of 2021.

Preparation of the construction site

Quality brickwork starts with the proper storage of the materials. Provide a firm level base so that bricks are not in contact with rain and/or dirt.

As clay is a natural material, successive production runs of the same kind of bricks may present colour variations and size tolerances.

The following precautions will help minimizing this:

Always order the full amount of bricks required for a specific site. In this way, the entire order can be made during one production run.
Try to have the full order supplied at one time. If this creates several deliveries, always mix a number of packs from the previous delivery with a number of packs from the new delivery. This procedure is especially recommended in case of re-order or for an additional order.
Take bricks diagonally across the pack.
Draw and use bricks from at least five different packs.
For setting out, use bricks from the delivery made to the site in question. Do not exclusively use the theoretical dimensions of the brick, or samples previously supplied, or different production run from that intended for the site.
As soon as the bricks arrive on site, check delivery tickets and certificates against the specification and order. Also check that there are no visible inconsistencies with the order.
Do not lay bricks in freezing weather or protect the ‘fresh’ masonry with insulating mats in order to avoid frost damage to the mortar.
In the case of prolonged dry hot weather, lightly dampen the newly laid brickwork to stop the mortar drying and curing too quickly.
Do not lay bricks in precipitation in order to prevent mortar from running on the wall.

Avoid Efflorescence

Brickwork is sometimes marred by white bloom. This efflorescence is usually caused because bricklaying is done under unfavourable weather conditions. The necessary protective measures are often not implemented due to a tight schedule and fast building pace. In very wet conditions, water in soluble substances can result in efflorescence on the surface. In spring as well as autumn, after a wet period (when the brickwork has dried again), soluble substances can rise to the surface as a result of moisture transport. After evaporation of the water, a white bloom is left behind. (Source: Efflorescence on brickwork – Heidelberg Cement Group)

Efflorescence on brickwork is always likely to occur. There is no brick - or combination of a certain brick with a specific mortar - that is absolutely efflorescence-free. By taking a few simple precautions, the risk of efflorescence can be reduced.

During and after laying, protect the newly built brickwork for a height of at least 60 cm - but ensure there is airspace between the brick face and the waterproof covering.
Provisionally install rainwater down pipes to avoid saturation of the newly laid brickwork
Never lay bricks in driving rain conditions
