Challenge

Woodscape was contracted by Gillespies to manufacture and supply a range of street furniture solutions over a strict schedule of lead times for Canary Wharf in London.

The company's considerable experience and dominant presence around many London developments were evidence that it was well-positioned to deliver on this project.

Products supplied

The selection of street furniture is varied and impressive, from parklets to planters, tables to seat-toppers, the many combinations of powder-coated metalwork with the naturally very durable timber that is the hallmark of a Woodscape product, is obvious through the Canary Wharf estates.

The parklets create a place to meet, relax or work, with the underground station nearby along with a great selection of restaurants of shops.

Variations on the company's Southgate circular planter seats show the impact a single piece of street furniture can have on an area, while still maintaining functionality. A large seating area allows 360° views around an attractive planting solution.

The architects utilisation of Woodscape's panel planters, with some custom-designed seating frame supports, has turned an expansive staircase into a unique feature.
