A new case study from Build Better Stuff takes a closer look at Finchley Road, highlighting its use of low-carbon materials and the structural role of Larvikite from Lundhs.

Build Better Stuff has published a new case study on Finchley Road, focusing on the project’s use of low-carbon materials and the role of Larvikite from Lundhs.

The case study explores how natural stone has been used structurally rather than a cladding material, highlighting the potential of stone to contribute to lower-carbon construction.

We have previously shared the story behind Finchley Road and its structural Larvikite exoskeleton.

Build Better Stuff is a material resource for architects and specifiers, bringing together information on low-carbon and regenerative materials alongside real-world case studies. Its platform is designed to make material knowledge and environmental performance data easier to explore and apply in practice.
