WOKING BENCHES

Comissioned by South Western Railway to design and build a series of benches outside Woking Station to provide commuters with a place of rest adjacent to the stations primary bus stop as a way to activate this underused space. To showcase SWR’s commitment to a more sustainable future, the benches were made primarily using reclaimed and waste materials.

The freestanding gabion bases are filled with varies waste aggregates and stones gathered from various SWR depots, and the bespoke top are crafted using waste materials gathered from the Tolworth Main allotments producing a beautiful white terrazo. The benches include spaces for hardy plants that require little to no maintenance and the benches are designed to sit around the existing trees on-site.
