The stunning architectural aesthetics and sustainability benefits of Aliva UK’s EWI clay brick slip system AlivaBrick has been recognised with five shortlistings in the prestigious 2025 INCA awards.

Aliva’s A1 rated, Kiwa certified system has three shortlistings in the Insulated Render and Cladding Awards New Build: Brick or Brick Effect Finish category with Swan Street House, Avon Point and Leeds II and two shortlistings in the Judges Choice: Architectural Design – High Rise category with Avon Point and Leeds II.

• Swan Street House Manchester 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 for real estate investor, developer and operator Ridgeback Group.

• Avon Point Bristol is a showcase on the scale and versatility of the AlivaBrick system on this PBSA for Unite Students. It includes grand, sweeping brick slip archways crowned with soldier bonds, intricate laddering details, recesses, step outs and projecting banding. It features 7,000sqm of AlivaBrick in red multi and black, realising the design intent of architect Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson, working again in partnership with RG Group and installer PIC Construction Group.

• Leeds II features 10,000sqm of AlivaBrick across two octagonal towers, 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. Working again in partnership with RG Group and PIC Construction Group.

Ben Edmondson, Technical Director EWI Systems at Aliva UK, said: “We’re incredibly proud of these prestigious five shortlistings for our AlivaBrick system. This recognises how EWI brick slips combinations can create stunning aesthetics in the built environment, meet architectural design intent without compromise and contribute to the sustainability agenda with robust U-Values that demonstrate the thermal efficiency benefits that can be achieved.”

Aliva is especially proud of its work in partnership with RG Group on this trio of projects, as well as a portfolio of developments across the UK, which are bringing flagship additions to the built environment.

With ongoing thanks to all Aliva’s customers, partners and supply chain for the valued opportunities to be part of their projects.

Fingers crossed for the awards ceremony in November and good luck to all who are shortlisted.
