Leiden University is fully committed to the circular development, renovation and management of all its buildings.
In partnership with architect Ernst Hoek, we developed a bespoke WasteBasedBrick in a unique format (190x90x90mm) for a new installation building at the university campus.
This striking pavilion had to have a robust facade where flora and fauna could easily nestle.
The colour nuance, rustic texture, and masonry bond bring the building to life. The shadow effect ensures that the building looks different at each time of the day.
We created custom cornerstones to ensure the viability of this intrinsic masonry bond.
“This technical building got a unique look with the specially sized and laid bricks, creating vertical creases in the facade that resemble the natural shell of a petrified treebark”.
This was a one-off product made specifically for this project. With our Custom Made Service, it's possible to develop your own bespoke brick or brick slip.
