Scope of Project:
Redevelopment and extension of existing building.
The redevelopment and extension to the Grade II listed BBC Broadcasting House was a major development in the heart of London’s West End which was undertaken in two phases.
The planning problems were extremely challenging as the site is surrounded by 14 listed buildings including the Grade I listed All Souls Church.
Albion Stone provided approximately 7,000m² of Portland Limestone (combined) for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project.
Bowers Roach, New Independent Whitbed and Bowers Whitbed were both supplied to Techrete for Stone on Precast panels & integration into the Mero Cladding System.
This project won ‘Award’ in the category ‘New Build Modern Non Load Bearing Stone’ at the Natural Stone Awards 2006.
As a fourth generation family business, Albion Stone takes pride in its knowledgeable and dedicated workforce. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques, we produce Portland Stone of the highest quality while minimising our environmental impact.
