NEWS | Hailing Brick Awards Success of ‘Highly Articulated’ Mixed-Use Development

Posted on by Siobhan Martin

We are proud to announce that Kindred House, a 25-storey mixed-use development in Croydon, benefitted from our innovative masonry support and brick slip systems, and was judged winner of the ‘Large Housing Development’ category at the 2023 Brick Development Association (BDA) Brick Awards.

Our bespoke products were deemed integral to the building’s high-quality brickwork finish to create a façade described as ‘highly articulated’ by judges.

Scott Denham, our Sales Director, said: “As a proud sponsor of the Large Housing Development category at the 2023 BDA Brick Awards, we’re delighted at Kindred House’s success. The project is an outstanding example of the striking, imaginative designs that can be fulfilled with brick, thanks in part to the evolution of evermore innovative masonry support. Congratulations to all involved.”

Kindred House, designed by Pitman Tozer Architects, is built on the site of a former car park adjacent to a flyover in Central Croydon. It comprises 128 apartments, 60 of which are affordable accommodation. Retail and public space, and 10,000sqft of office accommodation also form part of the development, which was constructed using more than half a million Zircon bricks manufactured by Wienerberger.

The building’s standout stepped form was instrumental in breaking up the building’s mass and creating an attractive composition of adjoining slender proportions. The building’s distinctive silhouette heralds a gateway to south Croydon’s Old Town.

Scott Denham continued: “We’re proud of our involvement with this outstanding project. It’s a credit to the ingenuity and collaborative efforts of each stakeholder that its execution earned the plaudits of the BDA Brick Awards esteemed judges.”
