Leading commercial
washroom designer and manufacturer Washroom Washroom has played its part in a
major office refurbishment on a popular business complex between Reading and
London.
Building 220 has been
completely refurbished by Collins Construction as part of a wider regeneration
scheme at the Winnersh Triangle, an 85-acre business complex which is home to
more than 50 businesses.
Not only has the
project refreshed the building’s interior, bringing it up to Grade A standard
office accommodation, but with a new glazed entrance structure, the floorplate
has been extended out over the main entrance under a new roof membrane.
Washroom worked
closely with the team from Collins Construction to install new male and female
washroom facilities on all three levels of the building as part of the
refurbishment. A stylish monochrome colour scheme was used throughout to create
a contemporary washroom space with a sleek, minimalist feel.
The new washrooms
feature Washroom’s full height Alto toilet cubicles, which are part of its
market-leading Iconica Collection designed with the high end commercial market
in mind. With its flush front design, the Alto toilet cubicle creates a
virtually seamless façade while the full height provides complete privacy for
users.
The Alto cubicles can
be tailored to suit any interior design with the option to specify a huge array
of different finishes and colours. On this project the toilet cubicle doors
were faced with plain white laminate and finished with stainless steel DDA compliant
pushplates and locks.
The Washroom team also
installed bespoke white Corian trough-style vanity units, designed with a
gentle slope to drain water away to keep the washrooms clean and tidy. The soap
dispensers and taps were wall mounted and the waste bins were inset into the bespoke
vanity units to retain clean lines and match the minimalistic design achieved.
Corian is an
increasingly popular choice for commercial office washrooms and for vanity
units in particular due to the fact that it’s easy to clean and durable enough
to withstand the rigours of a high traffic environment. The fact that it’s
available in a wide range of colours and textures and can be cut to almost any
shape means that it also offers virtually limitless possibilities for creating
bespoke washroom areas.
Completing the design,
Washroom’s Concerto integrated laminate duct panel system and laminate urinal
ducts with toughened glass divisions were installed in a crisp white colour.
Trevor Bowers,
director at Washroom Washroom said: “This project demonstrates perfectly how by
specifying high quality materials a beautifully simple effortless design can be
achieved. The clean lines and monochrome colour scheme create a high quality finish
which perfectly matches the rest of the building’s newly refurbished modern
interior.”
