The "Vessel" project by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects is a masterful renovation of a classic Victorian Terrace, showcasing the profound impact of Krause Emperor Bricks. This design thoughtfully connects the home's historic origins with a bold, contemporary vision, using the rich texture of the bricks to establish a sense of quality and timeless style.
The result is a seamless and sophisticated transition between old and new.
The most captivating aspect of this project is its innovative use of natural light.
The architect has skilfully shaped the Krause Bricks to form "funnels of light," drawing daylight deep into the home and creating a bright, dynamic interior. This highlights the unique ability of our bricks to not only provide structure, but also to sculpt the very atmosphere of a space through a dramatic interplay of light and shadow.
This project stands as a testament to the power of a clear architectural vision paired with exceptional materials. The dialogue between the original terrace and the modern extension is mediated by the authentic, enduring quality of Krause Bricks. "Vessel" is a perfect blend of past and present, demonstrating how brick can be used to achieve a stunning and progressive architectural statement.
