Trusting in clay and brick - Ibstock Brick Ltd
As well as achieving sustainability, the National Trust's new headquarters is sympathetic to Brunel's original engineering workshops - where the offices are based - by utilising products from Ibstock's Blue Fireborn Clay Blocks and Staffordshire Slate Blue Brindle Rustic brick ranges.
The choice of brick colours matches the polychromatic appearance of the adjacent Victorian buildings. The Blue Brindle had been discontinued but the company made them by special request. Blue pigmented lime mortar was used to minimise cement usage and facilitate recycling. They were utilised on the north-west and north-east elevations in a stack bond, including on the brick-work cantilevers used as shading fins. The Fireborn Blocks were installed in landscaping around the buildings.
