Petrarch PlanX Premiere\u2019s in the UK<\/h2>\n

Petrarch is pleased to reveal a premiere for the UK market – Petrarch PlanX has been showcased on a first of its kind project – Church Grove.<\/p>\n

Church Grove is the capital\u2019s largest, community-led self-build project, coordinated by the Rural Urban Synthesis Society (RUSS).<\/p>\n

\n

“Community, connectivity and a real sense of place and belonging were the key directives for this unique residential scheme. There is a clear sentiment of a place for everyone with this design intent and we’re so proud to see our Petrarch PlanX implemented on such an uplifting community development.” <\/em>Tom Walker, Sales Director, Petrarch Panels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Church Grove features 36 flats in two linked buildings, a new public riverside garden and shared community spaces. As a Community Land Trust, RUSS aims to create sustainable and permanently affordable homes in a community woven into the wider communities of Lewisham.\u201d<\/p>\n

Petrarch PlanX reconstituted stone cladding supports the spirit of this development; Rooff and RUSS were keen to utilise upcycled materials and adopt a retrofit approach; Petrarch PlanX go hand-in-hand with this mindset thanks to their composition; manufactured predominantly from crushed marble and stone, and wherever feasible, created from off-cuts of main panel production.<\/p>\n

Here, warm custom shades, emulating terracotta were chosen to bring vibrancy and depth to this unique scheme.<\/p>\n

\n

“This scheme involved close working with RUSS, local residents, self-builders, self-completers and future residents. Rooff, alongside the self-build management team, have supported the self-builders in providing site safety and construction skills training to carry out works in a safe and correct manner. Rooff also offered the self-builders the opportunity to visit Rooff\u2019s plant yard to look through unused\/spare materials and make use of them where possible in their builds.” <\/em>Rooff<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Petrarch PlanX is a facade material that speaks to the future. By blending beauty, sustainability, and technical performance, Petrarch PlanX invites a new wave of architectural possibilities, delivering a luxury product that supports both modern design principles and environmental stewardship.\u201d<\/em> Tom Walker, Sales Director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
