Restoring and adapting existing buildings forms an important part of designing and building in a more sustainable way.
Architects BDP restored and adapted the historic Leighton House to meet the needs of a modern-day museum whilst preserving the original integrity of the house and transforming the way it is used by visitors.
The use of high-quality design and materials throughout includes Junckers Black Oak Boulevard flooring, fitted over underfloor heating.
Specified for its rich, dark tones the floor forms a warm backdrop to several areas in the building. Junckers solid hardwood flooring, naturally low in embodied carbon, holds EPDs, FSC, PEFC TM and Indoor Climate certification as well as a BRE Green Guide rating of A+.
Expected to last well over 60 years, the floor forms part of the design to future-proof the museum.
