Leading washroom
designer and manufacturer, Washroom Washroom, has recently completed the
construction of a full sized mock-up washroom for a prestigious central London
office refurbishment.
Created off-site at
the company’s factory in Essex, the mock-up was built to full scale using the
exact materials as specified for the New Bracken House project. The team worked
closely with McLaren Construction to ensure all elements of the design were perfect
before installation on site commences in the next few weeks.
Grade II* listed New
Bracken House was home to the Financial Times
until the late 1980s and is an iconic landmark thanks to its pink Hollington
sandstone exterior, intended to match the colour of the paper’s pages. With Financial Times staff due to move back in next
year, the current refurbishment by McLaren Construction is designed to bring
its interior up to Cat B standard, creating a modern open plan office space.
The new washrooms,
which will soon be installed on eight floors in both the North and South cores
of the building, feature Washroom’s popular Alto full height toilet cubicles in
high gloss white laminate. Integrated Concerto duct panels, manufactured in the
same high gloss white laminate, will also be installed behind the WCs.
The bespoke Corian trough style vanity units have been
designed to deliver a contemporary, high specification feel to complement the
rest of the building.
The stylish vanity units also feature Swiss Lamex
metallic effect glass splashback panels behind the sinks for a completely
bespoke finish, while Washroom’s Tego hinged mirror system above completes the
design. Washroom is also set to install all the ancillaries in the washrooms as
part of the project.
