Commercial washroom designer and manufacturer, Washroom Washroom, has delivered
an outstanding washroom refurbishment featuring striking ‘Deep Night Sky’
Corian vanities for ISG’s flagship London head office.
International
construction services company, ISG operates in 24 countries across five key
sectors – offices; technology, science and
health; retail; hospitality and leisure; education and the
public sector.
It has 14
offices across the UK including its head office in Aldgate in central London,
which has been refurbished to a high standard by Tailor Made Joinery (TMJ
Interiors).
Washroom
worked closely with TMJ Interiors and ISG to deliver the new male and female
washroom areas on level six of the building, designed to complement the high
specification finish seen throughout the rest of the building.
The Washroom team designed, manufactured and installed
bespoke trough-style Corian vanity units with Corian under panels for a unique
washroom space. Available in a wide range of colours but often specified in
white, what makes this project stand out is the Deep Night Sky shade, which is
described by Corian as “midnight black with a galaxy of translucent particles”.
The solid surface construction of Corian means the colour runs consistently all
the way through for a perfectly neat and unified appearance, creating an
attractive finish.
Tego hinged access mirrors, manufactured with bespoke
curved edges and LED back-lights, were installed above the vanity units to
provide a practical storage solution for essential washroom consumables.
Washroom’s
popular full height, floor-to-ceiling, Alto toilet cubicles were also tailored
to meet the requirements of this project. The flush fascia cubicles, which form
part of the company’s unique Iconica Collection, were faced on both sides with
Formica AR Plus High Gloss laminate in Diamond Black, while the pilasters were
manufactured using oak effect HPL laminate for contrast, creating a distinctive
and contemporary washroom space. Attractive DDA compliant stainless steel locks
were also installed to complete the design.
Washroom’s Concerto integrated duct panel system was
installed to allow for ease of access for future maintenance, whether planned
or reactive. As well as being easy to clean, the duct panels were faced with
the same Formica gloss laminate in Diamond Black to match the toilet cubicle
doors, bringing the different elements of the design together.
As part of the refurbishment, Washroom also installed
a number of self-contained unisex superloos to exactly the same design as the
larger washroom areas with the same Deep Night Sky colour Corian trough-style
vanities and Tego mirrors with curved edges. These superloos ensure consistency
of design was achieved throughout the building while maximising the available
space.
Trevor Bowers, director at Washroom Washroom, said:
“We’ve built up an excellent working relationship with ISG over recent years
and it was an honour to be brought in to deliver the refurbishment of its own
head office. The unusual dark Corian vanities combined with the bespoke curved
mirrors and contrasting cubicle doors create a real design statement and
highlights the beauty of bespoke when it comes to washroom design.”
