As part of the outdoor landscaping project for the University of Arras, we contributed to enhancing the campus surroundings by designing an urban layout in corten steel<\/strong> that revitalises this relaxation area. The main objective was to create welcoming, shaded seating zones<\/strong> while reducing impervious surfaces to bring freshness and comfort<\/strong> to students and staff.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1494415255420{margin-bottom: 5vh !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1499847091930{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-12″][vc_empty_space woodmart_hide_large=”0″ woodmart_hide_medium=”0″ woodmart_hide_small=”0″]\t\t

To bring this vision to life, we selected activated and stabilised corten steel<\/strong> for its exceptional corrosion resistance<\/strong> and naturally evolving patina<\/strong>, which allows it to blend seamlessly into the campus environment. Thanks to our expertise in rolling, folding and welding<\/strong>, we installed nearly 18 linear metres of corten steel edging<\/strong> to shape green islands. Straight raw corten steel borders were also used to define each landscaped area with elegance<\/strong>.

Altogether, the design offers a coherent and durable visual result<\/strong>, perfectly suited to the standards of a modern campus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”CLIENT” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1736959053612{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”” wd_hide_on_desktop=”no” wd_hide_on_tablet=”no” wd_hide_on_mobile=”no”][vc_custom_heading text=”Cit\u00e9vert” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1737453142394{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”MATERIALS” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1747657676731{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”” wd_hide_on_desktop=”no” wd_hide_on_tablet=”no” wd_hide_on_mobile=”no”][vc_custom_heading text=”ACTIVATED AND STABILISED CORTEN STEEL

\u2013 ORIGAMI benches<\/a><\/strong> in activated and stabilised corten steel, with seats made of exotic wood slats
\n\u2013 Bespoke islands<\/strong> with integrated seating areas combining wood and corten steel
\n\u2013 Raw corten steel borders<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Exotic wood offers excellent durability and a warm aesthetic<\/strong>, while corten steel reinforces the contemporary character<\/strong> of the space.
\nTogether, these materials blends in perfectly with the surrounding red-brick architecture<\/strong> typical of the region.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our design expertise, we delivered a bespoke, robust solution<\/strong> adapted to the northern French climate. These installations create an atmosphere of conviviality<\/strong>, offering students and visitors a pleasant space to relax or work outdoors.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DISCOVER OUR ORIGAMI BENCHES” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.atech-sas.com%2Fen%2Fproduct%2Fpublic-bench-origami%2F|title:ORIGAMI%20benches”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\t\t

\nThe combination of corten steel and exotic wood blends seamlessly with the local brick fa\u00e7ades<\/strong>, resulting in an outdoor space that is both resilient and visually appealing<\/strong> \u2013 ready to welcome students, faculty, and visitors in optimal conditions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DISCOVER OUR CORTEN EDGING PRODUCTS” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.atech-sas.com%2Fen%2Fproduct-category%2Flandscaping-equipment%2Fedges-and-kerbs%2F|title:Edges%20and%20Kerbs”][vc_empty_space height=”20″ woodmart_hide_large=”0″ woodmart_hide_medium=”0″ woodmart_hide_small=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\t\t
