Never has properly covered outside space been so important

With space at a premium, both inside and out, maximising the use of a property’s footprint to provide covered space for learning, dining and queuing is a must in any sector.

As autumn and winter take hold, retailers, educators and the hospitality industry are looking for ways to provide additional space for their users. A fine summer eased pressure on many sectors, where distancing outside presented no problem, but as a long term solution it is far from reliable.

Design and build firm Fordingbridge have been enhancing the external built environment with canopies and covered walkways throughout these sectors and more. With an inhouse design and manufacture process, they work collaboratively with architects to ensure that the clients brief is not only met, but exceeded.

Tensile, steel and glulaminated timber canopies fill the firms portfolio, alongside an impressive offering of sustainable buildings for healthcare, education and leisure clients. Thanks to a collaborative approach, the Fordingbridge offering serves to not only assist architects through initial discussions with clients, but also to provide a solution for their needs.

  • Additional covered space for dining, learning and play in education
  • Improving patient experience and flow in healthcare environments
  • Increasing dwell time in retail premises
  • Allowing for additional covers in hospitality

With over five decades of trading history, the team at Fordingbridge are as committed to your clients as you, ensuring that each project will not just benefit our own reputation but also that of your practice.
