Marshalls facing brick has been extensively used by Bellway Homes and Mace for an award-winning development beside the River Thames at Barking.
Designed by Sheppard Robson, Barking Riverside has been awarded Development of The Year in the The Sunday Times 2013 British Homes Awards design competition. It is one of the largest residential schemes in the UK, with 10,800 homes set to be delivered over 12 years on a 170ha brownfield site.
The criteria for judging stipulated ‘A residential development of any size that demonstrates a positive aesthetic architectural contribution within its immediate environment.’ Marshalls Bricks and Masonry contributed to the striking aesthetics of the elevations with their high quality facing bricks: Midnight Blue facing bricks were supplied to the Bellway sites and Lea Valley smooth finishes to Mace.
Marshalls is Britain’s leading independent brickmaker. Readily available, its quality facing bricks provide kerb appeal at an affordable price and offer all the technical superiority of concrete with an outstanding match to clay bricks of equivalent quality.
