of experience in designing and
manufacturing outdoor shelters. The

One bespoke project recently
completed by NBB was that for
a pharmaceutical company in
Cambridge, who required a covered
area at the back of their carpark
for staff to enjoy during breaks.
The carpark, which is surrounded
by trees, had been allocated an
area for a covered shelter and
seating. The brief provided to NBB
was to incorporate a shelter that
enhanced the natural surroundings
and created a tranquil and relaxing
space, both protecting employees
from the elements and providing
smokers with a designated area
away from the main building.
The NBB design team visited
the area to get a feel for the
surrounding landscape and to take
full measurements of the available
space. Working on a design, the team
produced a stylish shelter in umbra
grey with a bronze tinted roof to
ensure a relaxing feel and to create
a floor shadow, making the shelter
blend in with the surrounding
natural environment. A glazed back,
sides and partially glazed front was
installed to offer protection from
bad weather but also to provide a
slight reduction in car park noise.
The shelter was finished with flood
lighting, to enhance safety and eco-
friendly outdoor furniture—made
from 100% recycled plastic, which is
also provided by NBB.
