Award-winning
Aliva UK is multi award-winning. Most recently it was recognised in the Facade Awards UK 2022, receiving industry recognition for its work on Elm House at the University of Brighton. Aliva created a first of its kind in facade design - a bespoke white terracotta tiled ceramic veil facade that takes its inspiration from starling murmurations over Brighton’s iconic pier.

Six types of white, handmade, geometric glazed tiles in matt, gloss and semi-gloss finishes were used to create the aesthetic. Aliva received the award for the ‘Best use of a rainscreen system using glass or ceramics’ category, for the university’s new home for its School of Business and Law.

Judges said: “The choice of 100% clay is eco-friendly and can be easily recycled. A great benefit offered by the aluminium support structure of the designed and supplied system. The project shows a very good use of materials and looks tremendous.”

Aliva UK also received industry recognition in 2022 from INCA, for its work to help transform the site of a 16th Century Shakespearean-era playhouse in central London. Aliva’s clay brick slip system worked perfectly with the design brief for Hayloft Point, its A1 accredited system is fully non-combustible, having achieved the highest fire classification based on testing to standard EN 13501-1:2019.

Judges said: “Aliva have created a visually stunning building – a proper high-rise which looks like real brick but hides exceptional thermal properties. A truly impressive project.”
