Kennington, London, UK

This was a private project on a roof terrace in Central London.

The existing terrace had been laid out in plain concrete pressed paving slabs which did not give a very attractive appearance.

The client wanted a more natural finish but with the minimum of disruption, due to the restricted access and lack of scope for rubbish removal. Instead of removing the existing slabs Wallbarn suggested using ASP pedestals and timber tiles made from Brazilian ipe on the area.

The 30mm thick tiles were perfect for overlaying the area as traditional decking would not have fitted within the door threshold. The ASPs were laid onto the concrete flags to a level height, then the timber tiles were loose laid on top to the same level as the interior flooring, achieving a seamless and beautiful finish.
