DNRC

The classical architectural style of this project extends to over 47,000m2 of floor space, of which approximately 41,000m2 is new, purpose-built accommodation. Two storey structures were configured around a series of interlocking courtyards and external garden spaces, creating distinguished, timeless buildings respectful of the existing architecture, including the Grade II* listed Stanford Hall.

Consistency and quality were essential when replicating the complex brickwork elements throughout this 21st century state of the art landmark project.

To create the arches using traditional methods would have been a time consuming task requiring a great deal of skilled labour and brick cutting onsite.

IG Masonry Support’s offsite solutions provided greater certainty for project delivery within the ambitious construction schedule of the DNRC.

IG’s Brick Slip feature arches and offsite cornice offered the perfect solution for achieving the key architectural features on the exterior façades of the DNRC buildings.

A clock tower retained from the demolished stable block at the historic estate forms the cornerstone of the main courtyard which features a series of impressive arches throughout its ground floor elevation. The design of the arches vary throughout each elevation, featuring a collection of different classical architectural styles.

IG provided Lee Marley Brickwork with Brick Slip feature arch solutions that enabled them to achieve grand architectural details with the simplicity of a single piece prefabricated component.
