Introduction.
In the picturesque village of Gravenhurst, Bedfordshire, a remarkable residential development emerged in 2021, showcasing the seamless fusion of traditional aesthetics and modern construction techniques. Spearheaded by HearneHolmes Developments Ltd, this project exemplifies how thoughtful material selection and design collaboration can result in a cohesive yet diverse community.
Brick Selection
Traditional Brick & Stone (TBS) played a pivotal role in material selection, ensuring each brick type complemented the overall design ethos:
Birkdale Blend: A versatile brick known for its subtle tones, providing a neutral yet sophisticated backdrop.
Hemmingstone Antique: Exuding rustic charm, this brick added a sense of history and warmth to select homes.
Old Fulford Blend: With its rich, earthy hues, it brought depth and character, reminiscent of traditional English cottages.
Verona Multi: A vibrant mix, introducing a Mediterranean flair, perfect for homeowners seeking a distinctive look.
TBS also assisted with the cast stone selection and cut and bonded brick specials for the bay windows feature details on some of the larger plots.
Conclusion
The Gravenhurst Residential Project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between developers and material specialists. By intertwining traditional materials with modern design principles, the development not only respects the historical context of Bedfordshire but also caters to contemporary living needs. It's a shining example of how thoughtful design and material selection can create timeless communities.
