The Task:

The project at Christopher Boone’s Almshouses required the execution of highly detailed brickwork for a modern development situated in the historically rich Blackheath area. Our core task was to ensure the new construction reflected a sense of traditional craftsmanship while maintaining contemporary structural standards. This was achieved through the specific use of the Flemish bond—a pattern that instantly lends visual texture and depth to the façade. Using high-quality facing bricks, we had to strike a careful balance: the final product needed to echo the historic character of the surroundings while meeting all modern design and longevity expectations. Our team’s commitment to detail was crucial in delivering the precise coursing and professional pointing demanded by this elegant, traditional bond.

The Outcome:

The completed brickwork at Christopher Boone’s Almshouses successfully roots the modern development in the architectural history of the Blackheath area. The choice and execution of the Flemish bond not only served the aesthetic vision but also reinforced the project’s commitment to longevity and durability. The outcome is a welcoming and durable environment characterized by timeless elegance. The refined craftsmanship is evident in every detail, creating a structure that honours the traditional building methods of the past while providing high-quality, contemporary accommodation. This project stands as a prime example of our ability to blend heritage techniques with modern construction excellence.
