Self Build House York
Our Brick Slips Self Build House Project is a contemporary residential home using Vandersanden Lithium 50mm brick slips to create a refined facade for a modern self-build house. The use of pale-toned brick slips adds texture and warmth to the exterior, giving this home a balanced architectural character, alongside a crisp render, dark framing and vertical timber cladding.
Located in York, the development was designed by Vincent & Partners as a self-build home with a carefully considered material palette using a contemporary identity. The project was conceived to combine clean lines, contrasting finishes and high-quality detailing, using 50mm brick slips across key elevations.
The combination of brick slips, render and darker cladding elements gives the house a confident and cohesive appearance. With a strong gable form, generous glazing and subtle tonal contrast, this project demonstrates how brick slips can be used to soften modern architectural features while still maintaining a contemporary finish.
Using Vandersanden Lithium brick slips has allowed the project team to achieve the appearance of natural brickwork in a format that complements the wider design language of the house. The light brick tones work particularly well against the darker rooflines, window frames and vertical timber cladding, helping to create a home that feels both modern and materially rich.
These carefully considered design choices demonstrate how this 50mm brick slip self build house brings together texture, contrast and contemporary detailing in a distinctive residential self-build project.
