The Brentford Project

Miko Engineering was commissioned to design, manufacture and install a bespoke air-dried oak timber-covered walkway forming part of the Residents’ Club at The Brentford Project.

The Residents’ Club – known as The Wick- is a private members’ wellness and leisure facility exclusively for residents, offering a gym, spa, pool and landscaped outdoor spaces designed to promote wellbeing and community.

Positioned within the development’s network of lanes and gardens, the walkway plays an important role in enhancing connectivity, shelter and the overall user experience within this premium environment.

Developed by Ballymore Group, the scheme is a major mixed-use regeneration project transforming a 12-acre riverside site into a vibrant new residential and commercial neighbourhood. The development reconnects Brentford High Street with the waterfront, creating a network of pedestrian-friendly lanes, public spaces and community areas.

Within this high-profile environment, Miko Engineering’s role was to deliver a high-quality, visually sympathetic covered walkway that complements the architectural vision while enhancing the user experience.

Miko Engineering were tasked with delivering a covered walkway that would:

• Provide sheltered access to and around the Residents’ Club facilities
• Complement the calm, wellness-focused environment of The Wick
• Align with the development’s high-spec architectural and landscape design
• Utilise natural materials to reflect the scheme’s heritage-led aesthetic
• Deliver long-term durability within a high-traffic residential setting

The structure needed to feel like an integrated part of the landscape, being both functional and architecturally appealing.

Miko Engineering designed and installed a bespoke covered walkway constructed from air-dried oak, selected for its:

• Natural durability and strength
• High-end aesthetic and grain character
• Ability to weather gracefully over time
• Compatibility with both traditional and contemporary environments

Miko Engineering worked collaboratively with the project team to ensure smooth delivery, adhering to programme deadlines while maintaining exceptional workmanship standards.

The completed oak-covered walkway enhances both the functionality and atmosphere of the Residents’ Club, supporting easy, sheltered movement through the space while reinforcing the development’s emphasis on wellbeing and design quality.

As part of The Wick, the structure contributes to a calm, considered environment where architecture, landscaping and user experience work together seamlessly, reflecting the wider vision of The Brentford Project as a connected, lifestyle-led neighbourhood.
