M7 Office Building A - Level 76 Roof Garden
The new M7 Building is one of two new office developments on the edge of the Westfield Shopping centre in Stratford, East London. Its high quality architectural design provides a premier workspace for organisations wishing to locate away from central London. The building is crowned with a screened roof garden, which enjoys outstanding views to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London skyline beyond.
Grandly titled Level 76 Roof Garden it is actually located on the 13th floor, its name deriving from its height above sea level. The scope of the contract included everything from the waterproofing layer, including insulation, drainage and reservoir layers; the laying of Chinese granite with a combination of finishes in an intricate linear pattern using a rail and pedestal system; bespoke planters in colours to match the building façade; benches and bird boxes, and planting. Due to construction restrictions, shallow soils depths have been used other than in the planters. A planting palette using prairie-style grass and ground cover species complements the paving and stepping stones in the shallow areas, which are set off with a gravel mulch finish.
