Mapleton Crescent, London - Cycle Racks, Postal Boxes and Bike Service Station

The Project

Mapleton Crescent is a 27-storey residential tower in South London, containing a mix of apartment types, 60% of which are affordable. Its slender profile, wrapped in subtly changing textures of aqua-green glazed terracotta, immediately attracted national attention, including prestigious RIBA London and National Awards in 2019.

A well-established contractor asked us to provide a range of products on a supply-only basis, including a mix of bespoke and standard-range cycle parking, corner protectors, mesh panelling, mailboxes, lockers, benches and planters.

The Solution

We supplied Double Decker Classic cycle racks, strategically planned to fit as many spaces into the area as possible, along with corner protectors to reduce any damage when loading/unloading bicycles.

Our post box solution for this project was our recessed option. We sent off for an anomatch colour – a bespoke colour which we purchased and applied at the manufacturing facility to create a unique one-off product, perfectly matched to the architect’s specifications.

We also supplied secure lockers for a key fob accessed mail room. And timber benches with steel legs and aluminium planters, powder coated in RAL 8028, were supplied for a resident-only rooftop location.
