Project Overview
Dunston Business Village, nestled in the serene countryside of Staffordshire, is renowned for its award-winning managed office facilities. The village offers a range of fully networked offices, catering to diverse business needs. Aiming to expand its offerings while preserving the site's historical essence, the management embarked on a new construction project in 2019.
Challenge
The primary challenge was to design and construct a new building that seamlessly integrated with the existing structures, some of which dated back over a century. The goal was to ensure that the new addition did not appear out of place but rather complemented the historical architecture already on site
Brick Choice
To achieve this, the team selected the Hemmingstone Antique facing brick from Traditional Brick & Stone. The Hemmingstone was chosen for its antique appearance and texture, which closely resembled the existing 100-year-old structures on the site. The Hemmingstone Antique brick's rustic charm made it an ideal choice to bridge the gap between old and new, giving the impression that the new building had always been part of the business village.
Outcome
The result was a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. The new building, constructed with Hemmingstone Antique bricks, seamlessly integrated with the existing structures, preserving the village's historical ambiance. The Managing Director of Dunston Business Village, Adrian J MacLaughlin, remarked:
"Excellent quality brick, easy to work with and matched an existing 100 year old building that we had on-site.
Most people think the building was built 100 years ago, not last year. Traditional Brick & Stone - Provide an excellent product, keenly priced and backed up by superb customer service"
