Bespoke planter for fine art studio Cotswolds residence
A large, L-shaped steel planter was commissioned for a fine artist’s private residence and studio in the Cotswolds.
The client wanted the planted perimeter to be both secure, and to create a privacy screen; so planter was designed to be relatively large, measuring W 700 x H 900mm.
The planter forms a continuous, L-shaped perimeter to a decked terrace, of an overall length of 10860mm.
It was manufactured in 1.5mm thick Zintec steel, which was polyester powder coated to RAL 7022 [Umbra grey].
The complete planter was supplied in a total of 5 sections; which were designed to be joined together on site below the soil level, so that the surface planting would appear visually continuous along the entire 11m run.
To reinforce the feeling of solidity, the client specified a 70mm wide rim to the planter; and the scale of the planter required strengthening via an internal framework of vertical stiffeners and cross-braces.
