In Veldhoven, a house has been fitted with a future-proof driveway featuring open space for water and greenery. GeoSteen Citta Klimata in the colour Cannobio was chosen, representing a smart combination of aesthetics, sustainability and climate adaptability. With the increasing risk of flooding and heat stress, more and more homeowners are opting for paving that is not only attractive but also contributes to a liveable environment. This driveway is an inspiring example of this.
Stable foundation, natural look
This attractive paving complements the property well and is durable in use. The Citta Klimata stones offer a natural look that blends in perfectly with a green and atmospheric setting. Although it appears as though the driveway consists of loose cobblestones, the underlying structure ensures stability and easy installation. Beneath the surface, the rounded stones are interlocked, preventing them from shifting. This provides extra strength whilst allowing grass to grow between the stones. The result is a robust and green solution, ideal for a driveway.
The stones consist of a strong base layer with a high-quality top layer averaging 10 mm in thickness and are suitable for light traffic. This makes them a practical and sustainable choice. Furthermore, the ‘Cannobio’ colour complements the green front garden beautifully, giving the whole area a harmonious look.
Water-permeable and cooling
What makes these climate-adaptive driveway pavers truly special is their water-permeable properties. Thanks to their open structure, rainwater infiltrates directly into the ground, preventing puddles from forming on the driveway and reducing peak loads on the sewer system during heavy downpours. Furthermore, the spaces between the pavers allow for vegetation to grow, providing additional cooling and promoting biodiversity around the home.
