EcoRight lime mortar brewed to match historic brickwork
Ram Quarter at Wandsworth is a multi-million pound residential-led, mixed-use development, transformed from the Young’s Brewery site into a vibrant urban quarter. Set within the Grade II listed brewery complex is Ram – a new craft brewery, a heritage centre, independent retail shops, restaurants and bars, and exclusive loft-style apartment.
The listed buildings have been carefully blended into the overall masterplan with a series of interlinked public spaces. The residential tower dominates with its triangular form and dramatic angular corners and required a palette of materials to contrast with the brick facades of the neighbouring low-rise buildings.
Ram Quarter is 2021 Winner of British Homes Awards: Best Mixed-Use Development of the Year.

Project details:
EcoRight supplied its Eco350 blend of hydraulic lime mortar to match some of the historical brickwork.
Because of the large quantities required, a bulk silo was placed on site requiring 25-tonne fill ups to keep pace with construction progress.
Ecoright have been working with architects, housebuilders and specialist brickwork contractors for many years, so their knowledge of lime and its uses is extensive. If you have any questions about how to use lime or its suitability to a particular project, please get in touch, they will be pleased to advise.
