Project Overview:
Bollard Street Ltd was commissioned by the esteemed Prince Thorpe Foundation to design, manufacture, and install a bespoke sedum roof bin store in Rugby, England. The project aimed to provide an aesthetically pleasing and sustainable solution for accommodating the school’s refuse and wheelie bins within the historic courtyard of their prestigious building, which dates back to the 1860s.
Project Description:
The completed bin store, designed and executed by Bollard Street Ltd, showcases an unassuming yet innovative design. The focal point of the structure is the ‘living green’ sedum roof, which not only adds a touch of natural beauty but also offers numerous environmental benefits. The sedum roof acts as an insulator, reducing heat gain and loss, while also aiding in rainwater retention and promoting biodiversity.
To ensure seamless functionality, sliding doors were incorporated into the design to facilitate easy access for waste disposal and bin maneuverability. The careful selection of materials and finishes allowed the bin store to blend harmoniously with the historic surroundings, preserving the architectural integrity of the Prince Thorpe Foundation.
Project Execution:
The project commenced with thorough consultations between Bollard Street Ltd, Prince Thorpe Foundation, and ATA Architects, with the latter serving as the lead consultant. Through collaborative discussions, the team defined the project goals, budget, and specifications, ensuring the bin store design aligned with the Foundation’s vision.
