a definitive line in architecture

Oak Farm, located in the Liverpool suburb of Allerton, has

been further extended to add additional accommodation and

a study. Following many discussions between the Liverpool

Planning Authority and architects shedkm, the Linear Natural

Blue was chosen to provide a neutral backdrop to the local

sandstone used on the original farmhouse buildings.

Project: Oak Farm Extension, Allerton, Liverpool

Architect: shedkm

Products: Linear Natural Blue 440 x 102 x 50mm

IBSTOCKEXPLORE

The long narrow bricks enhance the linearity of the extended farmhouse,

whilst creating a contemporary statement connected to the original sandstone

features by a transitional glass link. The combination of colour and size of

the brick units create a modest yet surefooted design - precise and clear,

maintaining the typical shedkm momentum of clean detailing throughout.

Range extendedIbstock’s new Linear range now offers a much wider choice of individual products – giving architects

and specifiers even more options for creating striking and distinctive finishes for their buildings. The

new range brings together more than 100 individual products in lengths from 290mm up to 490mm

in 50mm and 65mm height options. Two new brick textures, Impression and Vestige have been

added, with specifiers having the flexibility to blend bricks from across the range. In addition to these

new extensions, it is now possible to create a bespoke Linear blend in either a range of different

products or sizes, enabling the architect to explore even more innovative and creative designs in this

contemporary product.

The new Ibstock Linear range now includes clay,

ceramic glazed, and stone finished products.

As you would expect, in traditional clay you can

choose from all of our fantastic brick finishes in

an expanded range of colours and textures.

Our new stone finish products from Forticrete®

come in 4 different finishes - Shot Blasted,

Splitface, Burnished Venezia™ and Polished

Florentine® and a wide range of colours,

providing a further 20+ options to choose from.

Glazed bricks are available in a further

4 finishes of Two Tone, Halo, Smooth

Glazed and Frosted Glazed. Almost any

RAL colour can be chosen.
