It’s a FAB 4 for Aliva UK, as the market leading facade specialist celebrates a whopping four shortlistings in the Roofing, Cladding and Insulation Magazine’s Facade Awards UK.

The shortlistings represent a masterclass in the art of the possible in architecture with Aliva’s customisable AlivaBrick slip system, A1 fire-rated and Kiwa UK certified.

• Swan Street House Manchester has two shortlistings, in the best new build and best brick slip categories. It features over 10,000sqm of Aliva’s Manchester Smooth Red AlivaBrick. Designed by architects SimpsonHaugh, Aliva is delighted to have partnered with main contractor RG Group and installer Stoneguard on this stunning development in the heart of Manchester for real estate investor, developer and operator Ridgeback Group with property management by ILA.



• Avon Point Bristol is a showcase on the scale and versatility of the AlivaBrick system on this Purpose Built Student Accommodation development for Unite Students. AlivaBrick has created grand, sweeping brick slip archways crowned with soldier bonds, alongside a mix of intricate laddering details with a shadow effect created from black slips, complemented by recesses, step outs and projecting banding. Avon Point features 7,000sqm of AlivaBrick in red multi and black and is also shortlisted in the best brick slip category. It has realised the design intent of architect Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson, working again in partnership with main contractor RG Group and installer PIC Construction Group.



• Leeds II features 10,000sqm of AlivaBrick across two landmark octagonal towers of 26 and 31 storeys, realising architect Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher’s design intent without compromise for client HUB. A deliberate choice of a small complementary palette of colourways have created maximum impact and style, with points of brick slip flair including stretcher and soldier bonds and verticality of piers that guide the eye from ground to crown, up to the city skyline. Working again in partnership with main contractor RG Group and installer PIC Construction Group, Leeds II is also shortlisted in the best brick slip category.



Fingers crossed for awards night in November in Manchester and wishing good luck to all category finalists.

Aliva UK is also shortlisted in the prestigious London Construction Awards with Swan Street House, a finalist in the Best Residential development category, with the awards evening taking place in London in September
