Fire-Safe Rooftop Terrace - The Place, Queen Street, Nottingham

With high demand for student housing in Nottingham, this new city-centre development offers premium accommodation for 409 students. The building features a gym, dedicated study areas, and a stunning Sky Lounge on the 8th floor, complete with a 360° rooftop terrace.

To ensure maximum fire safety for residents and visitors, a non-combustible solution was essential. AG’s Class A Tavira 600x400mm concrete paving in Silver was selected, perfectly complemented by Buzon’s aluminium A-PED pedestals range, which was supplied and installed over a single-ply finish to Rockwool insulation.

For added stability, the A-PED-JOIST system was used to create a framing structure on top of the pedestals, while end stops ensured precise spacing and prevented lateral movement of the pavers.

AG’s Tavira textured Silver was ideal for this project with its Enduur 1 advanced concrete technology.

The finished terrace is now a vibrant space featuring planters, seating, and pods — perfect for socialising and taking in panoramic views of the city.
