22 | Architecture & Design TRIDENT PARK: THE ICONIC TRANSFORMATION H almann Vella has enriched its portfolio by being an integral part of transforming yet another iconic building, into a thriving and vibrant office campus and world class business destination. The prominent late 1950's Art-Deco style building known as Farsons Brewhouse has now been redeveloped and combined with Trident Park. Altogether, these form an environmentally sustainable Business Park with a Campus environment, aiming to be a world class business and commercial project. As the lead contractor in charge of the finishes works package, Halmann Vella was strongly supported by Archi+ and Actsmart offices, to project manage the joint venture to completion stage. Works were diverse and substantial. Part of Halmann's scope was to furnish 3000sqm of external hard landscaping made from terrazzo. The custom mix-design and surface finish of terrazzo was designed and discussed in detail with world renowned and UK-based designers from Ian Ritchie Architects office (iRAL). Chosen mix design complemented grey hues, were resulting slabs were then sand-blasted and cut in 300 x 600mm and 1206 x 300mm formats.
