Irish company Stone Developments Ltd are supplying the stonework for paving and landscaping at the More London project.

The entire project will use 30,000m2 of stone. The order received by Stone Developments for the first phase is for 5,500m2 of 80mm flame textured Carlow Blue limestone paving.

The first phase also includes Carlow stone for an amphitheatre (called The Scoop), balustrading, benches and cladding. The benches are 15m long and 2m wide in order to incorporate some of the venting requirements of surrounding buildings.

Foster & Partners are the architects on the project with Townshends handling the landscaping and paving. The Carlow stone will be laid parallel to the main diagonal, creating a strong directional pattern.

Phase I takes place over the next six months and the remaining phases will be completed during the following 2 years.
