Innovative brick slip cladding at Marks & Spencer’s Brixton store

Eurobrick Systems, the UK’s leading brick slip cladding specialist, has recently contributed to the refurbishment of Marks & Spencer’s historic Brixton store. This project showcases Eurobrick’s technical expertise as well as the art of blending traditional aesthetics with modern construction solutions.

The Marks & Spencer Brixton store, dating back to 1903, was the company’s first London location. Originally situated beneath railway arches, the store has expanded over time, and the recent refurbishment aimed to highlight the building’s architectural heritage by incorporating a new brick finish that refreshes the original arches and interiors. This design choice presented unique challenges, particularly in preserving the structural integrity of the arches while achieving the desired aesthetic, but Eurobrick’s technical team were able to help.

Innovation and exceptional customer service
Since introducing the first brick cladding system to the UK market in 1990, the company has developed a range of solutions suitable for various applications, from large-scale commercial developments to residential projects. Committed to innovation and quality, Eurobrick continues to set the standard in the brick slip cladding industry, developing solutions that meet the evolving demands of the construction industry. With nearly 35 years’ experience, Eurobrick’s commitment to quality is underscored by its ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accreditations. As an independent, family-owned business, Eurobrick prides itself on delivering exceptional customer service.

Custom designs
To realise Marks & Spencer’s vision, Eurobrick collaborated closely with the design team, contractors, and its suppliers to provide a bespoke solution. Eurobrick supplied I-Clad, a system which is specifically designed for interior applications where minimising loss of floor space is crucial. Eurobrick also supplied custom-manufactured arch soffits and rowlock arches, all finished with Imperial handmade Original London Stock brick slips, cut to order for a precise fit.

Versatility
The completed project is a testament to the successful integration of modern cladding solutions within a historic context. The refurbished interior not only enhances the retail environment but honours the building’s rich history, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of brick slips in preserving architectural heritage and meeting contemporary design standards.
