The whole square has been designed with a strong geometric lighting grid flush with the paving, these light lines are contained within the boundary of a square apart from where the benches sit close the lines of light break from the edge and cut through the benches, the Glass panels extruding through the bench support the design and bring the lines of light out of the ground. This allows the lighting beneath the ground to illuminate the surrounding area and light the bench. At night the effect is very strong.

'Finsbury Avenue Square' Bench



New Studio Project: Detail

''To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.'' - Giorgio Armani.
The aim of this project was for us to explore the detail within landscape architecture, to get close to things and really study, whether it be the stone texture of a wall or the design of a seat that makes a project individual. Working in a pair me and Aaron Carpenter found the Benches at Finsbury Avenue square (Central London, square designed by Townshend, lighting by Maurice brill) to be unique features and began to explore the construction of a single bench through using a model.
