Permeable Clay Pavers... Beautiful and Sustainable
Blending history with Creative Solutions...
Challenge...
Water pooled up into ankle-deep mud directly in front of Kenan Hall At Flagler College each time it would rain. The City of St. Augustine didn't allow any new tie-ins to its storm sewer system and required all new construction to keep its storm drainage on site. Secondly, the design had to tie in with the historic nature of its surroundings.
Solution...
Pine Hall Brick StormPave® permeable clay pavers provide an effective way to drain away stormwater while at the same time, picking up colors of the nearby building - in line with local historic-district guidelines.
The 5,300-square-foot space has become a popular gathering spot for students. The plaza is paved in gray as the primary color with autumn as the accent.
