The Brick Development Association has announced that Radley College Chapel Extension, built using bricks made by BDA member, Northcot, has won the Supreme Award at the 2022 Brick Awards.
This winners' gallery provides a summary of winning projects and their significant contributors, including architects, brickwork contractors, developers, clients and brick manufacturers.
The Radley College extension, designed by Purcell Architecture Limited, saw the brickwork carried out by contractor O.G. Stonemasonry Contractors Limited.
The architectural detailing of the extension entailed intricate geometry of the brick and stonework facades. Northcot Brick worked closely with the specialist contractor to create three bespoke brick blends in imperial sizes that matched the colour and texture of the existing Chapel, both internally and externally.
The design team decided to compliment the original chapel with a highly detailed design consisting of multiple brick specials moulded to intricate detail.
The main east window had to be propped to form the opening into the new Sanctuary. Likewise, the new apse openings were propped, and steel supports installed.
