The visual softness of the
design is reinforced by the
detailing of the ground plane
which uses the continental
system of laying porous
unbound setts in fan patterns.
This approach, developed with
CED and Steintec, produces
a much more forgiving and
more flexible treatment than
is possible using conventional
bound paving with mortar filled
joints.
The purpose designed pod
seats, designed by Churchman
and fabricated by Bramhall
1840, reinforce local historic
references, Douglas Fir planks
being used for the cushion
and back rest while the riveted
metal trims echo Glasgow’s
legacy of ship building.
