A significant detail in the project is the variation of bonds. When walking across the property, you can’t miss the play of bonds; There is the classic bond of long format bricks, a protruding bond as well as transparent one – each of which adds a special effect on the overall impression of the house.

Villa P, Germany
Gondesen+Wenzig arkitekter er et veletableret arkitektfirma fra Braunschweig, kendt for deres innovative og kreative tilgang til boligdesign. Med inspiration fra et traditionelt spansk gårdhus, har de skabt Villa P - en fusion af funktion og æstetik, hvor enkle kubiske strukturer møder moderne materialer i et markant moderne udtryk.
I 2019 påtog de sig opgaven at skabe en skræddersyet bolig til en familie, som søgte maksimalt privatliv. Svaret blev et U-formet hus med en lukket facade og en indre gård, der kombinerer stilhed med naturlig belysning og rumbredde takket være generøse vinduespartier.

Materialerne spiller en nøglerolle; lyse mursten af typen Ultima RT 154 skaber et levende spil mellem lys og skygge, mens øverste etages patinerede kobberfacade tilføjer karakter og dybde. Træelementer supplerer det overordnede look og bringer varme til den minimalistiske æstetik.
Facadens diskrete åbninger står i skarp kontrast til de store glaspartier, der orienterer sig mod gården og haven, og sikrer både privatliv og en åben forbindelse til naturen. Indskårne gårdhaver og overlejrede etager giver strukturel spænding, mens den ensartede brug af mursten på både gulve og loftet af det åbne tag understreger husets kohærente designfilosofi.
Huset skaber en balance mellem isolation og åbenhed, med små vinduer mod gaden og brede udsyn mod haven. Materialernes holdbarhed er med til at sikre en bæredygtig fremtid for byggeriet. Villa P er ikke blot en bolig, men et personligt tilflugtssted, en arkitektonisk dialog mellem det traditionelle og det nyskabende.

A combination of vertical and horizontal bonds offer a special welcome to the villa. The extra-long Ultima bricks do not only lend the house character, they also intensify the horizon behind the house.
The home is oriented towards the sea, not only in its location – but in every architectural decision. As you walk through the beautiful and simple rooms of the house, your eye continues to meet the many nuances of ocean.
The use of waterstruck bricks provide a special aesthetic to the house. Not two bricks are alike, the texture, surface and colour of each brick vary – just enough to create a distinctive expression in the overall brickwork.

The centre of the project is a courtyard surrounded by five townhouses. Each house has a unique bond and technique, but all masonry is based on RT 154 and RT 554. The use of identical bricks provides a common thread across the five townhouses. As such, they are alike but unique.
The size and position of windows in the 30 apartments of the project imitate its neighbouring buildings. In the same way, the finish is inspired by the many towers on the boulevard, that was initially inspired by Paris’ Champs Elysee.

Randers Tegl HQ, Denmark
The vision behind the new headquarters at Hammershøj is called Supersize Bricks and covers the architect’s visual expression.
The administration building consists of four 'stacked bricks'. To make these stones habitable, they are scaled by a factor of 92. The proportions of the stones have been preserved so that the expression at a distance will have clear references to the format of a Danish brick – now only at 21x10x5 meters. The same expression is repeated on the production buildings, which simultaneously act as exhibition walls and demonstration of mortar types and curves.

Strax intill kalkbrottet i Limhamn har ett av Malmös nyaste områden växt fram. Holmastycket är inbäddat i Elinegård och presenterar två hus med omsorgsfullt utformade entréer för att skapa en välkomnande atmosfär och en känsla av extra kvalitet.
Holmastycket består av två imponerande hus med genomgående entréer. Ett betydande fokus har lagts på omhändertagandet av entréerna för att skapa en välkomnande atmosfär. Här satsade man på högkvalitativt tegel. Det långsmala formatet valdes för att ge boende en upplevelse där varje detalj spelar roll. ”Det har varit viktigt att skapa en känsla av extra omsorg och kvalitet där boende möter sina hem”, säger Per Bondeson, ansvarig arkitekt.
Holmastycket erbjuder enastående utsikt ner mot Öresundsbron från några av lägenheterna, med solnedgången i väster. Genomtänkta lägenhetslösningar har utformats för att maximera utsikten och utblicken samtidigt som man bevarar en effektiv och hög boendestandard. Detta speglar en ambition att skapa bostäder där varje detalj, från utsikten till interiören, bidrar till en trivsam och komfortabel livsstil.

Arkitekten beskriver teglet som ett fantastiskt material som åldras vackert samtidigt som att det är underhållsfritt. Vidare så berättar arkitekten att det speciella avlånga tunna formatet på Ultimastenen förstärker det horisontella formspråket som man även kan se i gamla byggnader som tex. i Rom. Formatet och kulören på RT 154 ger en fantastisk varm yta som man gärna vill ta och känna på.
Bottenvåningens stomme är i Leca Isoblock med utvändigt tegel Ultima RT 154. Vissa delar av fasaden samt undersida takutsprång är klädda med cederträ som tar upp tallarnas färg. På golv är det kalksten alternativt trä. Vardagsrum och matplats delas av med öppen spis klädd med natursten. Dörrar och invändiga fönster är ek.
Huset är placerat på tomten med långfasad i sydväst där alla rum har kontakt med trädgårdssidan med terrass och pool.

Johan Skytteskola , Sweden
På en liten tomt inbäddad bland villorna i Älvsjö, Stockholm, har Cedervall Arkitekter på uppdrag av SISAB ritat en idrottshall till Johan Skytteskolan. Byggnaden rymmer två idrottssalar och fyra omklädningsrum sam tillhörande biutrymmen.
Hanteringen av den stora byggnadsvolymen var utmanande på grund av den lilla tomten och omgivningens småskalighet. För att anpassa skalan mot gatan och de omkringliggande villorna gestaltades byggnaden i flera mindre volymer. Byggnaden präglas av en tydlig ordning och en enkel planlösning. För att få så stora idrottssalar som möjligt saknas korridorer och varje funktion har en egen entré utifrån.
Interiöra och exteriöra material är valda med långsiktig förvaltning och ekologisk hållbarhet i åtanke. Inredningen har en färgsättning och materialval som inte upplevs som påträngande utan istället bidrar till koncentration och fokus. Till entrérummen valdes ett mörkare neutralt tegel, RT 153 som bidrar till en ombonad känsla och ger en vacker kontrast till de ljusa luftiga salarna.
"Ett mål med projektet från beställarens sida var att skapa en idrottshall med lugn och rofylld miljö. anpassad för barn med koncentrationssvårigheter. Ultimateglet i entréerna har de rätta egenskaperna och harmoniserar väl med andra materialval. Jag är mycket nöjd med resultatet", säger Pontus Engellau, ansvarig arkitekt på Cedervall Arkitekter.
