Case Study British Embassy, Doha - Qatar David Jarvis Associates

LOCATION LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

Qatar has been ruled by the al-Thani family

since the mid-1800s and is an independent state

with significant oil and natural gas revenues.

Blanc de Bierges was selected by David

Jarvis Associates when they were engaged

as Landscaping Architechts on the British

Embassy project in Doha, Qatar.

The physical parameters of the scheme set some

unique challenges. Jim Meadowcroft, architect

for the project said, “Whatever was chosen

would have to meet the exacting requirements

for this prestigious project and prove durable,

attractive and capable of dealing with the harsh

and corrosive environmental conditions in

Doha.

The choice quickly boiled down to Blanc de

Bierges which met all of the criteria and was

selected not only for the vast majority of the

paving but some of the external seating as

well. The finished product has met all our

expectations.”

Simple elegance withclassical style

With the first phase successfully

completed last year, an additional

quantity of Blanc de Bierges products

are currently being shipped to the

Embassy in Doha to match the

existing paving.

Scheme Urban square

The landscape scheme has

been featured in a number of

magazines and two articles are

Tim Stimpson, the former British

Lions rugby player paid a visit to the

British Embassy in Doha, to celebrate

British-manufactured products being

installed.

Quiet & contemplative

Tim discovered that Blanc de Bierges

high quality paving was selected to

complement the Embassy’s clean and

elegant appearance. Tim Stimpson

was able to see the stone that had

previously been installed and was

very impressed: “It is always good

to see British products being used

overseas and the paving really fits

with the classic yet contemporary look

of the building. It was a privilege to

be able to visit today and present the

Embassy with a British Lions rugby

shirt on behalf of Blanc de Bierges.
