Tobermore deliver striking finish for new business quarter in Leatherhead
quarter in Leatherhead, Surrey. The Square was designed by HLM Architects and comprises four impressive office buildings ranging in size from 10,010 sq. ft. to 31,568 sq. ft. and totalling 68,851 sq. ft. The Square is the first speculative development in
T
the South East to achieve an EPC A rating. Managed by Workman with Tolent Construction appointed as main contractor, the buildings have been constructed with energy efficient design features and the latest technologies to minimise running costs. The landscaping has been designed to reduce the
impact of car parking on the external environment with the creation of an avenue connecting the main entrance to a central amenity space, produced with Tobermore’s Manhattan plank paving. This has formed a focal point at the centre of the project.
obermore world class products have been used to create the striking landscape at The Square, an exciting new business
Manhattan is a linear paving product that can be
used to create unique landscape designs due to the long, slender product shape and the granite aggregate surface layer that produces a sparkling finish, similar to natural granite. A mixed length Manhattan design was specified
for The Square in a stunning random colour pattern consisting of Silver, Mid Grey and Graphite. The con- temporary look created with this Manhattan design reflects the style of the modern new business quarter perfectly. The scheme also benefits from the provision of 269
car parking spaces that have been formed with Tobermore’s Sienna Duo block paving in the rich colour of Sandstone. Like Manhattan, Sienna Duo features a beautiful granite aggregate surface layer. Tobermore’s Shannon Duo block paving in the
warm, blended tones of Heather has been incorpo- rated on the walkways surrounding the four office buildings. Shannon Duo is designed with a smooth
33
surface finish, ideal for pedestrian use and wheeled traffic such as wheelchairs and office deliveries.

Luceco refurbish Navigation House lighting
Navigation House, the head offices for Wakefield & District Housing, have just completed a lighting refurbishment at their Castleford site. Significant savings have been made by replacing the existing T5 fluorescent luminaires with energy saving LED LuxPanels complete with dimming controls and Carbon Downlights, from Luceco, in circulation areas and corridors. LuxPanels are quick and easy to install with no maintenance requirements and no visible frame when installed in the ceiling grid, the High Efficiency LuxPanels have the additional benefit of 13 per cent extra visible light when compared with other LED panel luminaires. Carbon Downlights are an ideal replacement for compact fluorescent downlights, offering running cost savings of up to 60 per cent. Designed to retrofit ceiling cut outs of common compact fluorescent downlights, the Carbon is also supplied
with interchangeable bezel options. With the project completed, CO2omissions have been reduced by over 22 tonnes each year and energy savings have been calculated at over £6,000 per annum. with additional savings gained from not having to replace failed fluorescent lamps.
