Graphite Square Case Study

Graphite Square is a landmark mixed-use development delivering a refined urban living experience in the heart of vibrant Vauxhall. This sophisticated project blends the area’s industrial heritage with a bold, contemporary design aesthetic, resulting in a striking architectural statement across the London skyline.

The development comprises 105 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, set alongside 80,000 sq ft of premium commercial space.

To achieve the desired industrial-inspired aesthetic while meeting modern construction and environmental demands, the project team specified SpeedySlip acrylic brick slips as the primary facade material. Nearly 6,000 lightweight brick slips were installed across the facade, delivering the traditional look and texture of genuine brickwork without the logistical and structural challenges of traditional masonry.

Benefits:

1. At just 4mm thick, SpeedySlip offered a flexible, lightweight solution that simplified delivery, reduced vehicle movements to site, and significantly accelerated installation.
2. Slips were easily cut with a Stanley knife and applied to a basecoat render using an ultra-flexible bonding adhesive – resulting in shorter build times and reduced labour costs.
