Portland Stone:
Jordans Basebed
Scope of Project:
Internal wall linings 85m³
Situated between Ludgate Circus and St Pauls, this £260 million new build forms a new focal point. With the neighbouring buildings in mind, our Jordans Basebed was selected for the internal wall linings due to its characteristics.
The canvas of stone in a contemporary, bold, geo-metric pattern is used cleverly as a feature wall and ensures emphasis is put on the vast amount of space that travels through New Ludgate’s large glazed double-height entrance into the street.
The process involved Putney & Wood’s in-house designers using CAD to detail every stone before creating a visual representation of each elevation.
The manufacture was split between 3D Pierre, stoneCIRCLE and Albion Stone.
Albion Stone, a fourth generation family business pride ourselves on having a helpful and skilled workforce as well as modern and traditional manufacturing process to enable us to produce the highest quality Portland Stone with minimal environmental impact.
