Streetscape Design
Located at Victoria Docks in London the existing dock walls were dismantled and turned into benches to view the surrounding areas. BBSGC shipped the granite to Portugal and had it worked into usable rough blocks that were then sent back to the UK for installation. The green use of existing materials proved beneficial to all parties involved, and has gained widespread approval from local residents and visitors alike.
Brixton Town Centre will soon receive a new and exciting granite bench to grace its new public realm area. The bench is currently being manufactured in Fujian, China and will be installed in the coming months. The bench weighs in excess of 60 Tons. The image shows one section during part of the weight reduction process cleverly designed by Gross max Architects.
Kettering Town Centre is currently having a large auditorium of granite benches installed. The large granite blocks number almost 600, with over 400 differing in size. Each piece has been individually designed and crafted to produce this calm setting for future events in the town. The pieces have been made in China in the form of a kit, and fit seamlessly together once installed in the UK. The attention to detail from the design aspect and the quality control ensured by BBSGC has given this scheme the high standard of finish required from the client.
