\u2018While visions of sugar plums dance in your head\u2026\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something quite magical about Sugar House Island. For ourselves it\u2019s one of those projects which doesn\u2019t come round too often. The kind of project which tests us. Which has our chemists in an enchanted frenzy, trying to match up colour tones, so they are \u2018just so.\u2019 Because when we\u2019re posed a challenge by a client to find a tone which achieves just the right balance, just the right pigment, so that it complements accompanying materials – then we \u2018set to it\u2019 to ensure we exceed expectation. This is exactly what we did here for our clients Facade Claddings. The vibrant pops of Petrarch reconstituted stone panels which you see across the entire Sugar House Island scheme is testament to this.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A vibrant waterside development in Stratford East London, which has taken 26 acres of historic London and transformed it into a \u2018sweet\u2019 mix of residential and commercial spaces. Captivating, collaborative, community focused. Set amongst the waterways of the River Lea and Three Mills Wall River it\u2019s both serene and idyllically positioned to benefit from excellent transport routes. \u2018Sugar House Island is within easy reach of eight stations, seven lines, five bus routes and two dedicated cycle routes for easy access to the city.\u2019<\/p>\n

The masterminds behind this \u2018truly mixed-use neighbourhood\u2019 have left no aspect unlooked. It has been designed with intelligence, creativity, sustainability and a true sense of community, all the while retaining the importance of history.<\/p>\n

\u2018Vastint UK is set to deliver 58,000 m\u00b2 office space bringing 2,500 jobs to the area, 1,200 homes, three acres of open space including a riverside park, as well as many independent restaurants, caf\u00e9s and shops. Sugar House Island\u2019s thriving community already includes over 600 residents, office tenants, a two-form entry Primary school and the UK\u2019s first national Talent House for urban culture.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>

What\u2019s in a name?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The island itself takes its name from the19th century five-storey brick warehouse which stands on site to this day. ‘The original sugar refinery once stood at the top of Sugar House Lane where it meets the High Street.\u2019 The enthralling name somehow dictates the need for a sweet toned colour palette. Eye-catching colour was one of the key stipulations for developer and contractor on this project. Tones which also hark back to the origins of the site which has played host to key industrial trades throughout its history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Textile printing & Dye works<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the 1600\u2019s the river supported textile related industries including dyeing and silk weaving. In the late 1600\u2019s the silk industry was replaced by calico-printing, with suggestions that the first Calico printer in England was William Sherwin of West Ham.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018A sweeter quality of life.\u2019 Without over-egging the sugar theme, the intention behind Sugar House Island\u2019s \u2018award-winning\u2019 is to create a scheme which offers a better quality of life for its\u00a0 6,000 peopled community.<\/p>\n

World-class planners, designers and architects are behind this ambitious vision. \u2018Inspired by the site\u2019s rich history, the masterplan combines modern architecture with retained industrial heritage features, creating characterful spaces with plenty to explore.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>

Petrarch Accents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Petrarch punctuates Sugar House Island with sweet toned reconstituted stone panels<\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as testifying to the power and intensity of Petrarch\u2019s colour palette, what this project also demonstrated is how Petrarch works beautifully as an accent material, complementing a whole host of contemporary and traditional facade materials. From banding and balconies to striking contrasting entrances, Petrarch punctuates Sugar Island with pops of vibrant colour and texturally rich panels.<\/p>\n<\/div>
