Brick has become a highly sought-after building material for individual bespoke homes and housing schemes. Offering lasting value, brick does not rot, dent, or need to be painted, and it will never tear. Its modular units and variety of shapes have resulted in beautiful structures in just about every architectural style, ranging from colonial to Victorian to post-modernist.
The burgeoning Build to Rent sector requires a change of mindset among designers and specifiers to look at the lifecycle of a building and its elements, says Chris Coxon, Head of Marketing at Eurocell.
