Bespoke Red Architectural Precast in Walthamstow

Amber Valley Stone was commissioned to manufacture and supply bespoke red precast coloured concrete units for the Forest Road project in Walthamstow. This project, designed by Gort Scott, aimed to provide 90 affordable one-bedroom homes for local first-time buyers. The development is situated on a prominent site opposite Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery.

Our Contribution

Amber Valley Stone produced a range of precast concrete elements, including concaved structural heads, fascia panels, curved beams, columns, and copings. These units were acid-etched to meet the client’s specific aesthetic and structural requirements.
