York Handmade supplies property nominated in ‘Oscars of the brick industry’

York Handmade specially manufactured bricks for the build, which was designed by Liverpool-based architects Smith Young.

Mark Lacksevics of York Handmade said: “This was a very exciting commission for us and we are absolutely delighted with the result.

“The key was to create bricks which complemented the Cheshire red brickwork on the houses of the Knoll’s neighbours.

“We are proud that our long, thin Hambleton Maxima bricks have matched the architectural environment of rural north Cheshire perfectly.”

The property has since been nominated for the Brick Awards, which will take place in the West End of London this Autumn.

The project marks the second time that architects Smith Young have worked with York Handmade.

“We are exceptionally pleased with the result. The fact that [York Handmade] are a UK manufacturing and sustainable company makes them the clear choice for us.”
