“ We worked closely with the architects , SPPARC , Wates Construction , N R Taylor and Lesterose on the Borough Yards project , which has since won several prestigious awards at both national and international levels ,” Graham elaborates . “ SPPARC ’ s vision was to rejuvenate part of South London ’ s Victorian railway heritage by repurposing 8500 square meters of existing railway arches , blending heritage with contemporary design .
The project has recently been awarded the 2024 Triennial Award for Excellence in Brickwork by the Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers .
“ The result is raw-brick , cathedrallike spaces aimed at a new generation of visitors . This is where TBS ’ strengths came through , as the project required a significant volume of bricks , including special shapes and unusual detailing .
