Artform are a property development company focused on creating design-led homes throughout central London.

XO is a collection of eight unique apartments in the heart of Stoke Newington, London.

Created in partnership with Scenesmith and Dowen Farmer Architects. Artform describes the design as weaving a story of craft and sustainability. A celebration of raw interior materials and sculpted exterior design.

Amber Valley Stone engaged early in the design of this project with multiple Teams calls, factory and site visits.

“Artform appointed Amber Valley Stone to supply the precast concrete sections to the façade of our Garnham Street project in North London. They were incredibly helpful throughout, including the design stage, and we were even able to visit and see the manufacturing process. We are absolutely delighted with the finished product”.

-Ben Lampert MRICS MCIOB, Artform Development Director

Precast & Masonry Services were appointed by the Artform Group in early 2021 to install architectural precast units comprising of columns and interlocking spandrels all designed, manufactured and supplied by Amber Valley Stone, for a new apartment block development in Garnham Street, Stoke Newington, London.

During the design phase, PMSL worked closely with the Amber Valley team to ensure that our requirements were met for the install.

The overall design of the columns with interlocking spandrels was technically very challenging, that challenge was met by Amber Valley Stone Ltd, the design of the fixings and the panels supplied were excellent which ensured the installation was as straightforward as possible.

“The hard work by both AVS and PMSL resulted in a progressive installation and a superb looking building. This was probably one of the most enjoyable projects that PMSL have had the pleasure of working on in the last 10 years.“

-Nick Pitman – Director Precast & Masonry Services Ltd.

Ian Woollen, AVS Project Manager agreed: “Working closely with our in-house design team, Erskine Hurt Consultants Ltd and PMSL, Amber Valley Stone were able to satisfy all interested parties vison for the project and deliver a truly striking building.”
