Materiality
Reflecting the lineage of Stretford Public Hall
Stretford Public Hall features a stairwell with the original 19th centre green tiles, a dark wood bannister and brass detailing, they're a warm and comforting combination fo shades which I thought potentially would be appropriate to a building, and it's external, and structure.
​
So I decided to experiment with this styling
I thought that glazed bricks would be most appropriate to use for the shade, and I cannot find any research that would suggest that them being more reflective than normal bricks hinders their possibility to act as thermal mass. IBstock, stock a similar shade glazed brick, code
I really enjoy the way the facades interact here and the pallet of materials, the two buildings somehow seem to coexist peacefully
