2014 Brick Awards – Rockbourne Mews ©TimCrocker
Winner of the Architects Choice Award at the 2014 Brick Awards
Designed by Robert and Jessica Barker, Rockbourne Mews is a small development of three properties constructed by Brickwork Contractor Phase Brickworks, using masonry cavity walls.
Wienerbergers Marziale light coloured stock brick was chosen to complement the surrounding London stock buildings and to create a light and airy feel.
Featuring a number of sustainable measures, the designs incorporate a high proportion of glazing to solid, providing privacy in places yet openness in others, encouraging a real sense of community.
The Brick Awards is organised by the Brick Development Association.
