Ajay Vohra , Specification Sales Manager – London and South East , Brett Landscaping said :
“ The Greenford Quay project allowed the opportunity for Brett ’ s GeoCeramica to meet the needs of HTA ’ s brief and vision for the development for its roof and podium terraces . The elegant range of aesthetics available of this highquality product , is the future choice and the latest progression in paving and roofing materials .
“ At Brett Landscaping we offer high specification paving systems that add value to large public spaces and boost those complex intricate detailed areas . The Brett team provides the expertise , and offer the complete service from conceptual or technical design , right through to sale , supply and installation .”
Ian Hainsworth Senior Landscape Architect at HTA Design :
“ Working with Brett allowed us to choose a paving system that met the high aesthetic requirements of this landmark luxury development , without compromising on the structural durability , reliability and quality of the installed system .”
GeoCeramica is a hybrid porcelain and concrete paving flag tile with a pre-bonded cementitious water permeable drainage layer .
For the roof-top areas GeoCeramica has been installed on a pedestal system . This is made possible due to the inherent dead weight of each hybrid flag tile and its individual strength characteristics . The product could meet the technical brief without compromising on the aesthetics offered .
The specification of GeoCeramica provided HTA Design with assurance that the paving would prove durable in all weathers and conditions , at the top of the 14 storey Tillerman ’ s Court ( Block 5 ) on the scheme .
A further 1200m2 of the GeoCeramica Impasto and Fiordi paving was supplied to provide footpaths and private terraces on the podium landscapes . These provide a high-end finish to the communal amenity gardens at first floor level .
“ As former industrial estates are reclaimed and converted to modern living developments , there is a need for architects to design public realms that can offer residents a real sense of wide-open space . Greenford Quay is a landmark example of how new community neighbourhoods can be created through careful use of design and high-quality building materials .”
