Hayfield Grove

In addition to meeting their sustainability goals, the design team also sought a material that reflected the traditional nature of the existing homes in Hallow Village. The Hallow Design Guide from Hallow Parish Council lists red brick walls, first floor dormers and fluctuating rooflines as predominant parts of the area’s architecture.

To meet these architectural requirements, a number of red bricks were recommended to the Hayfield Homes team. Following consultation, the Malvern Village and the Richmond Smoked bricks from our exclusive range were selected, plus the Atherstone Red Multi from Forterra.

The choice of three bricks instead of one allowed for the bricks to be used in a blended manner, providing further variation to the facades and linking back to the traditional architecture of Hallow Village.

To select these materials, Hayfield Homes collaborated with David Sadler, Brickability’s Commercial Director who also worked with the team on the Hayfield Crescent development.

Dave’s existing relationship with Hayfield Homes was a major factor in the success of this project as their history made for an efficient and smooth specification process. Using bricks from Brickability’s exclusive range also assured supply and price stability for the team.

Further sustainability features at Hayfield Grove include air-source heat pumps, solar PV panels, underfloor heating and smart EV charging points. Combined with the selected bricks, these features demonstrate the power of thoughtful design, material selection and project collaboration for schemes like Hayfield Grove.
