Published: 26 November 2012
The wall, roof and landscaping solutions specialist Wienerberger is celebrating after scooping four awards at this month's Brick Development Association awards.
The winner of the Best Public Building, Best Outdoor Space and Architect's Choice Awards, the company was also given the accolade of the Supreme Award.
Wienerberger was recognised in the latter category for its Mellowed Red Sovereign Stock bricks and work with Hackett Hall McKnight Architects and Grove Builders on The Mac in Belfast. And the Best Public Building award also went to The Mac in Belfast, where the use of natural light, said one of the judges, "feels almost external when you are wandering through the internal spaces of the Mac".
The Yard, University of Roehampton, where Wienerberger's Herne Dark Brindled Slimpave bricks were used by Henley Halebrown Rorrison architects and specialist brickwork contractor Exel Construction, stole the show in the Best Outdoor Space category. And the Architect's Choice Award went to the North London Hospice. The project uses Marziale Brick, Wienerberger working with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris architects and brickwork contractor Pavehall.
