GEOCERAMICA PAVING TOPS OFF GREENFORD QUAY DEVELOPMENT
Brett Landscaping has supplied its GeoCeramica porcelain paving for the roof terraces and public spaces of a major new mixed-use development in London , overlooking the Grand Union Canal .
More than 1400 m2 of GeoCeramica has been installed across the communal areas of the £ 151 million Greenford Quay development , with 150 m2 used to provide a highly aesthetic finish to the communal roof terrace on the tallest tower in the scheme .
Greenford Quay is one of the UK ’ s largest ‘ Build to Rent ’ schemes with
1,965 new homes being built across seven main buildings within wide public realm spaces . The aim of the development is to create a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood at the side of the historic Grand Union canal .
Project architect HTA Design required a high-quality paving system that would complement the curated gardens across the podium courtyards and upper terraces of the development , and a system that could meet the strict specification requirements for use on tall buildings .
The architect worked with the technical team at Brett Landscaping and chose to use the GeoCeramica range of porcelain paving . The range provides the look and finish of natural stone , while containing modern paving technology suited to the demands of the project .
Brett Landscaping were able to demonstrate that not only would the Fiordi GeoCeramica system provide a finish that met the aesthetic requirements of the upper terraces of the project , but that it could meet the loading requirements and ensure its suitability for the building ’ s design .
