Canary Wharf, London
Urban redevelopment of public realm at Canary Wharf in London as part
of the new Crossrail station is still underway and due to be completed in
2018.
The whole scheme has been designed to look very clean and modern with
custom designed granite clad mirror pools designed by Szerelmey
underneath the bridge, unique planters with fibre optic light emitting
bricks, metal handrails up the steps and glass doors.
The natural stone landscaping needed to complement these features and
so our Alta Quartzite was chosen to be supplied. Architects love its ability
to work well with other materials and often use this stone in combination
with a range of other materials including wood, glass, steel and aluminium.
From the pictures below, we can see that it has blended perfectly and
Adam’s Place looks stunning.
Alta Quartzite is quarried in the mountains surrounding the Alta Fjord in
Norway, it has a pleasant grey-green appearance and a natural soft lustre.
Being a riven material, it has colour and texture variations that lend
themselves to modern architecture. It is naturally non-slip and extremely
hard wearing making it suitable for trafficked areas as well as pedestrian
paving areas.
Alta Quartzite can be used for:
- roofing
- paving
- staircases
- cladding: interior as well exterior.
Also is available with an impressive honed or polished surface.
BBS were thrilled to be involved with the external hard landscaping at Adam’s Place, a new
public space which connects Lower Bridge Street with the new Crossrail station.
