Sol-Tech campus, Pretoria
Jeremie Malan, owner of Jeremie Malan Architects & Interiors, selected Corobrik’s Redwood Travertine face brick from the Rosema factory for the Sol-Tech project. “The bonding in a face brick is very important, that’s what gives it its structural stability.” A variety of face brick bonds were used to give the building a three-dimensional quality, with patterns created by the shadows and openings. The Corobrik factory stepped in to provide the large numbers of bricks required.

When GASS Architecture Studios Associate Director Wandile Mntambo told Divercity Urban Property Fund CEO Jonathan Reader he wanted to make face brick ‘sexy’, the latter had no idea he meant hand-cutting Corobrik’s Nala and Protea Travertine products to create a bespoke ‘split-brick’ façade for the Onyx building in the Jewel City precinct. Corobrik assisted by cutting all of the bricks off-site. Needless to say, Jonathan was impressed by the final result.

Project Architect Sarah Kuiper from LYT Architecture had to ensure that the project at 56 Jorissen Street was efficient and robust. “Face brick is a very low-maintenance solution, which is ideal. It also offered us room to be playful, as using different brick bonds to introduce different pattern types gave us a real opportunity to explore the material.”

Project Lead for Phase 1, Cliff Gouws highlights that Boogertman + Partners is guided by architectural and social sustainability. “We had a very clear brief on the specifics of our materiality and finishes.” Counter to the common idea that educational architecture has to be bright and colourful, Cliff tapped into the legacy of Harvard University to introduce classic elements such as brick arches. For the building envelope itself, Corobrik Black Brick Satin was combined with Titanium Satin face brick to continue this concept of a building that is both aspirational and formal.
