Whitworth Gallery
Products Supplied:
Mortar from CPI EuroMix has met the exacting requirements of the architect and has played its part in some extraordinary brickwork at the new extension at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester.
Designed by McInnes Usher McKnight Architects (MUMA), and short listed for the RIBA Sterling Prize, the two storey extension to the University of Manchester’s Grade II listed Whitworth Art Gallery has doubled the size of the public display space as well as creating new learning resources and a new visitor study centre.
Winner of the Supreme Award at the Brick Awards 2015, the stunning feature red brickwork comprises 90,000 smooth machine-made bricks which complement the dark red bricks of the original Edwardian building and mortar from CPI EuroMix.
Craftmanship and finesse in the detailing, and striking the balance between the bricks, was down to the skills of the specialist brickwork contractor Cara Brickwork who worked closely with CPI EuroMix throughout the project.
