Nine Elms
Designed to deliver zero-CO2 operation and features extensive interior and exterior planting to create a relaxing working environment that is close to nature.
Osmo Battersea offers 166,000 sq. ft. of contemporary, flexible office space between Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station in the heart of the new Nine Elms Linear Park. It has been designed to deliver zero-CO2 operation and features extensive interior and exterior planting to create a relaxing working environment that is close to nature.
The design incorporated a terrace that features steel planters fitted with integral benches and lighting to create pleasant alternative work zones and durable porcelain surfaces for non-slip, low-maintenance, yet stylish external walking areas.
The Installation & Challenges
Frost Landscapes is very well acquainted with the Raaft system and undertook the entire installation of the terraces, planters, benches and lighting.
The only challenges faced in an otherwise smooth-running project were the electrical isolator box doors being supplied to an incorrect size and the discolouration of some of the wooden benches after other trades left pieces of metal lying on them. These problems will however be rectified to ensure a perfect result and a satisfied client.
Products Used
Surfaces: Atria porcelain tiles and Farrino porcelain decking
Planters: Planterline Curved with integral benches and lighting
The Result
Raaft was able to extend the ‘back to nature’ atmosphere of the building to the terrace area, complementing the 360-degree views offered by the terrace. The steel planters are extremely durable and offers a distinctive patinated surface that perfectly complements both natural and contemporary settings.
Atria porcelain tiles replicate the look of natural stone and Farrino porcelain decking gives the authenticity of a woodgrain effect.
By selecting Raaft porcelain products for the terrace, the client will enjoy the attractive appearance of natural stone and timber for many years to come, with all Raaft porcelain terrace products being weather-resistant, anti-slip, low-maintenance and fire-safe.
