The Emirates Stadium Winner of numerous planning, Architectural and hospitality awards, Emirates Stadium is undoubtedly a striking piece of civic architecture.

Proposals at Emirates Stadium included a completely redeveloped concourse within which multiples of bespoke recessed Arborslot tree surrounds were specified by HOK Sport. While aesthetically pleasing, Arborslot enables paving to be taken up to the tree aperture, complying with DDA and reducing the risk of trip or fall. Location: Emirates Stadium, North London.
