\n\t\t\t

We assisted the city of B\u00e9ziers in revitalising Place de la Madeleine<\/strong>, located at the heart of a vibrant district. This mineral square is built above an underground car park, making it essential to create a modular landscaped space<\/strong> to accommodate a variety of uses.<\/p>\n

We therefore designed and manufactured movable planters in powder-coated aluminium<\/strong> (colour: Brun 2650 Sanded), selected to blend visually with the surrounding architecture. Each planter includes a built-in water reservoir<\/strong> to simplify plant maintenance, and is mounted on twelve castors with jacks<\/strong>, discreetly concealed beneath hatches. These allow the four planters to be moved easily<\/strong>, especially for events held on the square.<\/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

Design, manufacturing, delivery<\/h5>\n

To address both the constraints of the underground car park<\/strong> and the city\u2019s aesthetic expectations<\/strong>, we leveraged our expertise in design, folding and welding<\/strong> to produce these unique planters. The aluminium structure<\/strong> provides lightness while ensuring excellent strength.<\/p>\n

The design features a 50 mm upper lip<\/strong> and variable heights<\/strong> to accommodate both a central tree<\/strong> and shrubs around the perimeter<\/strong>. Specifically, the centre of the planter reaches 1200 mm<\/strong>, while the outer edge stands at 800 mm<\/strong>. A special set of castors was selected for use on a smooth and level surface<\/strong>, ensuring safe occasional movement.<\/p>\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=”City of B\u00e9ziers” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1748244350184{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_1748244357539{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=”PAINTED ALUMINIUM” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|color:%23000000|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1748244367616{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”LOCATION” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1748244381249{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=”B\u00c9ZIERS (34), FRANCE” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1748244391911{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\n\t\t

How these movable planters enhance place de la Madeleine<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=”” text_larger=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]The planters bring warm contrast to the stone fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> of the \u00c9glise de la Madeleine, emphasizing the historical identity of the site.
\nThe Brun 2650 Sanded<\/strong> colour palette complements the character of the neighbourhood, offering a bridge between tradition and modernity.<\/p>\n

Scheduled for installation in summer 2024<\/strong>, the project reflects a responsible greening approach<\/strong>.

A technical challenge: working above an underground car park<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=”” text_larger=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]A key constraint of this project was the presence of the underground car park beneath the square<\/strong>. The planters had to meet strict load-bearing and stability criteria<\/strong>. We developed a reinforced aluminium structure<\/strong> that is light enough not to overload the slab, while remaining robust.<\/p>\n

To facilitate occasional repositioning, we opted for castors with jacks<\/strong>, suitable for smooth, even surfaces. This modular design allows for easy reconfiguration<\/strong> of the space during events or maintenance operations.[\/vc_column_text][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
