Washroom designer and manufacturer, Washroom Washroom, has drawn on its Iconica collection to deliver a bespoke office washroom design in the heart of London’s old legal district.
Just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Courts of Justice, Chancery Lane was once home to law firms and barristers, and now attracts a new generation of professionals, who want to put their own stamp on the area.
The project by Orms Architects to refurbish 79-86 Chancery Lane, which was overseen by Chorus Group, involved the careful restoration of the original Victorian façade and complete modernisation of the interior which now provides modern BREEAM rated Excellent office space, retail units on street level and a number of private flats. Washroom Washroom worked closely with Chorus Group to install new high specification washrooms and disabled facilities throughout the building.
Washroom’s full height Alto toilet cubicle, with its rebated edges and flush front design, was chosen to provide end-users with complete privacy, helping to create a washroom more akin to a luxury leisure facility than an office. Finished in dark wood veneer, the cubicle doors feature an unusual bespoke routed finish to help make a striking impression.
Complementing the bespoke toilet cubicles, Washroom also installed its Concerto integrated duct panel system and urinal modesty screens in toughened back-painted glass. The Concerto duct panels provide a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and allows access for any future maintenance or repair.
The vanities were manufactured from natural stone in a soft grey and feature individually shaped sinks and an integrated waste bin.
The disabled toilets, which all comply with document M, were designed to feature all the same design elements to create a sense of cohesion between all areas of the building and ensure that the same level of luxury was delivered throughout.
Trevor Bowers, director at Washroom Washroom said, “One of the things we pride ourselves on is our ability to provide a bespoke design service and this is an excellent example of a number of bespoke elements coming together to create a seamless unique design for the end client. I’m really pleased with the overall effect, especially of the routed finish on the cubicles which gives the washroom a distinct look.”
