The Brief

Sustainable Considerations
With sustainability as a project focus, the importance of endurance in specification was a high priority.
Our ethos is not to over-specify, but to specify correctly ensuring the products would last the lifetime of the building, if not longer.
Flat Matt Black
To compliment the simple black, white and timber architecture, we recommended the use of flat matt black finish for the timber doors, tapping into the modern industrial aesthetic.
Bespoke
Bespoke textured brass pad handles on black frame glass doors. The pad handles were chosen to work with the detailing in the timber slatted ceiling raft and wall panelling.
