Perfect Pebble, Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Bukinghamshire. banner

The architecturally compelling Aylesbury Waterside Theatre was opened in October 2010. Designed as a replacement for the original Civic Hall, the theatre has a 1,200-seat auditorium which can double as a music venue for 1,800 standing; a second performance space seating 200; and large front-of-house facilities including several bars and café.

Externally the building is designed to complement its surroundings, with the undulating base echoing the neighbouring Chiltern hills and the glass façade supported by 106 Larch beams, a reminder of the ancient woodlands nearby.  Island Stone’s Perfect Pebble in Medan Charcoal was used to clad the entire rolling base of the Theatre, its four-sided, interlocking design on full show as it flows seamlessly around the foot of the building.  

This project is testimony to not only how well the Perfect Pebble tile handles curved lines, but also that it is completely up to the challenge of large-scale commercial design.

About the
Professional

Why is it that we find flowing water calming, that having plants in our living spaces improves our mood or that we feel so much better after a walk in the fresh air?  Being connected to nature is good for us, we know it intuitively and the research tells us as much.  At a time when we are increasingly disconnected from the world outside our front door, Island Stone gives you the chance to have a slice of nature where you live and work every day.

Our range of tiles and claddings offers a myriad of opportunities to have natural stone as a feature in your next project, whether in a classic, understated way, or where innovative design takes centre stage.

Nothing you will see in the Island Stone range is ‘off the shelf’ – these are our designs and each product must meet our strict quality standards before we put the Island Stone name to it. 

From the earliest conceptual beginnings through to the end-product being available for your next project, Island Stone controls the entire process.   We design it, source the raw material and in most cases produce it in our own purpose-built factories.  Where we don’t make the product ourselves, we form strong partnerships with those who we contract to do it on our behalf.

So, if you still don’t find what you are looking for, feel free to talk to us about custom design.  After all, sourcing, cutting and shaping stone is what we do!  Give us a call.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
