Barts Square

Located between Smithfield Market and the Barbican, Barts Square is a new urban quarter in the historic heart of London.

Overview

This residential led mixed-use development provides a harmonious combination of both historic and modern architecture. The scheme comprises of 236 apartments, 246,000ft2 office space and 25,000ft2 retail and leisure space.

The external areas surrounding the new development boasts two private and tranquil residential gardens, both of which Maylim were contracted to complete all elements of the hard and soft landscaping. As well as this, our scope of works included the terraces for the luxurious duplex apartments.

Over 800m2 key details of our remit included; a resin-bound play area, circular seating areas and benches positioned around the soft landscaping and lawns, metal work and railing around the perimeters of the courtyard gardens, drainage attenuation, all paving and hard landscaping including stepping stones across the lawned gardens, Portland stone copings and cladding around the light wells in the duplex apartments.

Due to the location of the project, logistics were often challenging; our team had to manually handle all materials to the courtyard as a crane was not permitted for use. During our delivery of the scheme a mix of other trades were working in the same area, often with four other projects working within the courtyard at one time.
