The innovation of Brick faced GRC, which removes traditional brickwork from the critical path and into off-site/modern methods of construction was challenged further by the creative design features proposed for this project.
The combination of the specified Maranello brick and raked hydraulic lime joint mortar in addition to optimized modelling, results in a bespoke brick façade with a standard of finish that replicates the skills comparable to that of a traditional master brick/stone mason.
Designable
The design brief and challenge was to create a large and expressive form with large concrete fins over a cantilever, something that could not be achieved with dense/precast concrete. In addition to this, was the desire for a structure that would resonate with the rail industry, with the intention that the façade would be designed to have the same visual impact as railway lines and track signalling.
