    The Project

    Once a Quarry, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Thurrock opened in 1990 and rebranded as intu Lakeside in 2013. Today it remains in the top 10 largest shopping centres in the UK, with 240,000m2 of retail floor space comprising 250 shops and 50 cafes / restaurants, set in an 80 hectare site.

    Project Solution

    We supplied the external landscape seating for the scheme, including eight 3m long Fordham steel and timber benches, the scale and bold construction of which perfectly suits the large open spaces.

    Between these benches, individual Hollo modules were placed to act as single person seating, doubling as low tables surfaces. All products were supplied with steelwork in a galvanised finish and iroko hardwood planed and untreated, to weather naturally over time. Set within resin bound gravel paving, the material pallet reflects the industrial character of this former quarry landscape.
