This innovative attraction provides visitors with a unique perspective on Brighton and the stunning south coast, as they are smoothly elevated from ground level to an impressive height of 138 meters in a spacious glass observation pod.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The surrounding landscape has been thoughtfully designed to complement the structure\u2019s contemporary aesthetic, featuring high-quality materials that enhance the visitor experience. Among these, Tobermore\u2019s Sienna paving blocks in silver have been selected to create a sleek, durable, and visually appealing ground surface. Their textured granite appearance not only adds to the modern elegance of the setting but also ensures longevity in Brighton\u2019s coastal environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Check out the British Airways i360 case study!<\/a><\/p>\n Client: London Development Corporation \/ London Underground<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Product used: Fusion Silver & Graphite<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Situated on Gibbons Road, the \u00a39.5 million entrance to Stratford Station is a key feature in the area\u2019s ongoing regeneration. To elevate the station\u2019s sleek, modern exterior, Tobermore proposed use of its Fusion block paving, a contemporary choice renowned for its stylish design and durability.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Each Fusion block is crafted with a high-quality granite finish, ensuring that the paving not only boosts the visual appeal of the station but also stands up to the demands of high foot traffic at one of the country\u2019s busiest transport hubs. The strategic addition of this product aligns with the broader regeneration efforts in the area, supporting the council\u2019s vision of making Stratford an accessible, inviting, and aesthetically cohesive urban space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Check out the Stratford Station case study!<\/a><\/p>\n Client: LDA Design<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Product used: Hydropave Fusion<\/a> \u2013 Oat, Mid-Grey & Graphite, Artro<\/a> \u2013 Bracken & Heather and Fusion Kerb<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Located on the historic gasworks site in London, <\/span>Poplar Riverside<\/span> is part of the ambitious new Aberfeldy Village neighbourhood, developed to support community and sustainability. A substantial portion of the project is dedicated to green space, including a two-and-a-half-acre public park, an adventure playground, and a nature area for children, with pathways planned along the River Lea.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tobermore\u2019s carefully chosen materials played a key role in achieving a dynamic, modern aesthetic at Poplar Riverside. <\/span>Artro block paving provided the desired clay-brick look with lower environmental impact, enhancing the development\u2019s visual appeal. <\/span>By thoughtfully combining Artro with Hydropave Fusion Block Paving and Tobermore Fusion kerbs, the design introduced contrasting textures and finishes that added depth, character, and modern sophistication. These elements defined individual areas while creating a cohesive and visually appealing outdoor space.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out the Poplar Riverside case study!<\/a><\/p>\n Client: Anglo Swiss<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Product used: Hydropave Fusion<\/a> \u2013 Silver & Oat, Sienna<\/a> \u2013 Graphite & Fusion Kerb<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Royal Swiss Apartments, developed by Anglo Swiss, feature a prestigious collection of 14 luxurious residences in the picturesque, suburban area of Barnes, London. For the stunning landscaping of this development, Tobermore provided a selection of permeable block paving products. Hydropave Fusion was the perfect choice for these modern, high-end homes. With its coarse textured surface and shimmering granite aggregates, Hydropave Fusion offers a distinctive, natural granite-like appearance, adding sophistication and elegance to the overall design. This paving solution ensured a refined and stylish look to suit the building’s exterior.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Check out the Royal Swiss Apartments case study!<\/a><\/p>\n Client: Wynne Willliam Associates<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Product used: Secura Grand<\/a>– Bracken, Mayfair slabs<\/a> – Silver, Sienna Setts<\/a> – Silver & Country Stone<\/a>– Bracken<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n John O\u2019Gaunt Golf Club aimed to expand its hospitality offering with a new outdoor seating area beside the clubhouse, which required a large, tiered retaining wall. Tobermore proposed a Secura Grand walling system for a durable, attractive solution. Mayfair slabs and Sienna Setts in Silver were chosen for the patio, offering a sleek granite finish, while Country Stone walling in Bracken was used for steps and detailed features.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Initially, the project architect had specified a single gabion wall to retain the expanded patio area. After an on-site consultation with Tobermore representatives, it became clear that there was an opportunity to use a more aesthetically appealing and space-efficient solution that would better match the prestigious surroundings of the club.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBritish Airways i360, Brighton<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
