Reclaimed Yellow Stocks bridge between past and present
London's architectural landscape tells the story of the city's evolution. While respecting this heritage is vital, the need for new developments remains a constant. The Planson Place Project in southwest London offers a brilliant case study in balancing these demands, with reclaimed yellow stock bricks at the heart of its success.
Timeless Yellow Stocks: A London Classic
Yellow stock bricks, warm tones and subtle weathering are synonymous with Victorian and Edwardian London. Incorporating them into new builds, like the five terraced houses at Planson Place, creates an immediate sense of belonging within the historic streetscape. Their unique character, imbued by time and the elements, instils a sense of depth that modern bricks often lack.
The Planson Place Vision
The architects behind Planson Place sought to create homes that would be both visually appealing and environmentally responsible. Utilizing reclaimed yellow stocks proved critical in achieving both goals. Not only did it maintain the area's architectural integrity, but it also significantly reduced the carbon footprint of the building process. Reusing existing materials avoids the energy-intensive production of new bricks.
The Benefits of Reclaimed Bricks
Aesthetic Appeal: The inherent variations in colour and texture within reclaimed bricks generate a unique charm and depth unachievable with newly manufactured materials.
Durability: Reclaimed bricks have often lasted decades, proving their ability to withstand the elements.
Environmental Friendliness: Embracing reclaimed bricks reduces landfill waste and the demand for carbon-intensive brick production.
