The successful completion of this prestigious Gallery, for Main Contractor Chorus.
Bespoke irregular sized handmade bricks were imported and laid in lime mortar to produce an absolutely stunning façade incorporating feature lintels and louvered design, which completed the transformation of this 1960s building into a contemporary new art gallery with adjoining offices in the heart of London’s Mayfair.
The bricks were laid in “random” bond, with the architectural vison being that no two adjacent course be laid in the same way as the course immediately above or below, with our workforce familiar with working with the symmetry that is found in half or quarter bond this took a bit of getting used to, the exercise was completely worthwhile and the finished product a complete success.
