Elsley House, Great Titchfield Street, London W1

Large bespoke steel planter / benches, plus a selection of planters, were commissioned for the refurbishment of the Art Deco Elsley House building in the heart of Fitzrovia, London W1.

The largest planter / benches, shown in the Image Gallery, were L 4260 x W 2050 x H 750mm, in oval form; and included substantial sections of timber benching, inset into the planter perimeters. The design also included provision for LED under lighting, and its associated electrical service connection.

In addition to the planter / benches for the central courtyard, 12nr. steel planters [in IOTA’s standard, multi-section design] were supplied to roof terraces at the upper levels of the building.

IOTA’s planters and planter / benches were commissioned by principal contractors Faithdean PLC, on the basis of Design, Manufacture, Supply and Installation.
