Large planters - shaped to falls and integrated with LED underlighting - were supplied to Lancer Square in Kensington.
The works required the design and fabrication of 4nr. large powder coated steel planters to surround and protect basement roof lights. These planters, up to 10m in length, were shaped to significant falls; and they were designed around obstacles, such as smoke vents, and to be integrated with LED underlighting. The planters were manufactured from 2.0mm thick Zintec Steel; and they were powder coated with a specialist product from Swiss paint manufacturer IGP [IGP-DURA xal 4201 in colour Schwarzbraun].
IOTA was commissioned by Maylim, who were appointed by principal contractor Mace on a remit which included the completion of the landscaped public courtyard and garden square, paved access routes, and other landscape works. The landscape architects for the scheme were Scape Design.
Lancer Square is a mixed-use development in Kensington, London, comprising office, retail and hospitality premises, plus thirty-six boutique apartments and penthouses, arranged around a landscaped public courtyard. The design, by architects Squire & Partners, is a contemporary interpretation of the architectural character typical of the Kensington Palace conservation area.
