The Clock House

A new way to clad the outside of a house

We were approched by the architects – Archmongers, based in London. They were undertaking a project to renovate a terraced house in Finsbury Park, London. They wanted something that would stand out from the crowd – and this is what we came up with.

The brief was quite simple – to produce tiles to create a modern façade on the front and back of the house. The concept is not new but we all wanted to give it a contemporary twist. The colour that was commissioned is a very pale pink with a hint of brown – described as “Brain Pink” by the architects!

The tiles are from our Stoneware collection and are completely hand made and hand glazed – a unique product. As with all commissioned work there is a lot of research and development that goes into producing a new colour – hours of formulating and testing the new glaze before finally putting it into production in the final firing.

Opening the kiln can be a nerve wracking experience – these came out perfectly though. Just the result that we, and the client, had hoped for!
