T

here are many older buildings around

the UK that just need a creative eye,

some time and attention to transform

them into a beautiful modern space.

Eurobrick has been leading the brick slip

cladding sector for nearly 30 years and has

extensive experience of supplying its systems

to redevelopment projects that aim to

rejuvenate older properties.

Hatton Garden is a well-known

commercial area in the Holborn district of

London, famous throughout the years for its

associations with luxury products and

diamonds. Minerva House has an attractive

facade, but required extensive modernisation

to the structure of the building to bring it up

to the modern standards of today.

Developer GPF Lewis Ltd completed the

project in 2018 following 50 weeks work

with a £5.1m budget. The redevelopment of

this landlocked site involved the demolition

of the rear part of the building, adding a steel

frame extension to the rear to connect to

existing floor levels. The project also included

general refurbishment of the existing

building and a high-end commercial fit-out

throughout the interior space.

Eurobrick supplied circa 400m² of 17mm

X-Clad for use both externally and internally,

installed by BR Hodgson. Externally, the

system was finished with glazed white

stretcher and header slips and corners. These

slips were fitted in a Flemish bond pattern

to match the style of the existing building.

For the interior, Islington Yellow Rustica

stretcher and header slips were selected from

Eurobrick’s Classic Range. These were set out

in an adapted English bond style and finished

with Eurobrick’s specialist pointing mortar,

Europoint, in light grey.

The whole accommodation now lives up to

the building’s attractive facade, providing a

modern and stylish commercial space.
