When Benoy Architects designed the interior of the Food Court at Fosse Park, Leicester they had to take account of a number of factors. As Rob Bishop of Benoy explains “You have to balance the need for high density seating with the demands of privacy, good accessibility and controlled tenant branding”.

All of the materials used had to meet the functional requirements of one the UK’s busiest shopping centres. For such a heavy usage public area, Benoy looked for high quality materials with an attractive finish, able to support effective cleaning and maintenance regimes.

Over 800m2 of Stratica Oak were specified in the main seating area to complement the polished stone around the perimeter. Peter Challoner of Benoy is enthusiastic about the results “This solution of combined materials has produced results of a higher standard than usually associated with this type of project”.
