AG provided Plaza® paving for the globally
renowned coffee shop outlet, Pret A Manger
which opened a unit at the Nugent Shopping
centre in Kent.
The ChallengeWith the coffee shop attracting continuous
footfall day after day, seven days a week,
Macgregor Smith Architects was tasked with
creating an attractive yet durable environment
for customers to enjoy.
The SolutionAG Plaza® premium paving blocks were selected
for the project due to their ability to fulfil both
a practical and aesthetic remit. Plaza® features
a finish which offers great slip resistance – an
imperative for such a heavily used area where the
public safety is of the upmost of importance. To
achieve the desired look, three sizes and colours
of Plaza® were chosen – Salt, Pepper and Birkes
in the 200x100x80mm format – together they
surpassed design objectives and created a
dramatic visual effect.
