The challenge

At an architectural firm, the outdoor space is more than just functional. It forms the very first point of contact for clients, visitors and staff. The entrance area therefore needed to look well maintained, accessible and professional, while also fitting in with the green character of the surroundings.

The garden around the building combines clean architectural lines with soft, organic shapes in the planting. The paving had to bring these two worlds together: crisp enough to tie in with the building, yet natural enough to blend beautifully into the garden design.

In addition, permeability was an important factor. Rainwater needed to be able to soak in locally, without the outdoor space losing stability or comfort.

With ECCOgravel, the outdoor space gets a stable, water-permeable finish that beautifully connects the clean lines of the architects’ practice with the garden’s organic shapes

The solution

For the finishing of the entrance and the paths around the architectural practice, ECCOgravel was chosen. This gravel stabilisation system ensures that the gravel stays firmly in place, creating a stable, comfortable and permeable surface.

In the entrance area, ECCOgravel provides a neat and welcoming access to the office. Around the building, the gravel surfacing continues between the green areas, beautifully combining the organic lines of the garden with the clean lines of the architecture.

The light gravel colour also creates a fresh contrast with the greenery and the corten steel accents. This keeps the outdoor space looking natural, without feeling messy or loose.
