The process for choosing the right brick for this project was more streamlined than usual. Instead of assisting our client in finding a brick that matches the historic and conventional architecture of the local area, they approached us with their chosen brick already established.
The St Albans Blend is a 65mm handmade brick. This design allows for a creased appearance and a variety of tones. As a result, each brick has a wholly unique appearance. The base colour features a classic brick red. However, each brick also showcases darker burnt shades and standout white accents to varying degrees.
MBS is committed to collaborating closely with creative minds who have strong and unique visions for their architectural pursuits. The farmer who masterminded the project approached RSC and MBS with a clear idea of what he wanted to create. Creative confidence, as displayed in this project, represents a rare yet necessary attitude towards construction. Such an attitude fosters innovation in the industry. This perspective excites the MBS team. We are always eager to participate in more projects developed with this mindset, such as Oldfields Farm.
The multi-tone bricks were the perfect choice for this project. They provided visually stunning results. Red tiles were used for the roof, complementing the brick style and elements such as the doors and window frames. We are proud to have been a part of this project. It truly showcases the quality of our stock in a unique fashion.
