Natural Stone Projects has sourced 4500m2 of cut to size external cladding in white limestone for the 2 acre super prime residential development, Campden Hill, Holland Park, London. The project was designed by architects John McAslan Partners for clients Native Land and Grosvenor and is set to become the leading super prime development of the future , http://www.mcaslan.co.uk/projects/campden-hill.
The white limestone bed was selected after confirming it met rigorous requirements in terms of performance data, visual appeal, budget, production time and quality control.
Natural Stone Projects brought security to the job by working directly with the quarry owner who owns 12 quarries, has a superbly equipped factory and specialises in external cladding in limestone. Further reassurance came from Peter Harrison of Harrison Goldman, an independent stone consultant who Natural Stone Projects introduced to the project. The Campden Hill development is scheduled for completion in 2016.
