A new facility for
London self-storage company, Attic, has been developed using EQUITONE [natura]
fibre cement facade material giving the contemporary building a modern, vibrant
appearance.
The premises, in
London N7, bordering Islington and Camden, offers businesses and individuals
across North London safe, secure and convenient storage solutions.
Award-winning
architectural practice TP Bennett was appointed to obtain the planning
permission for the purpose of Attic Storage’s occupation of the building.
Jeff Wall, director at
TP Bennett, said EQUITONE was specified on the development because of its
performance and aesthetics. TP Bennett had previously specified EQUITONE facade
materials on a number of its design projects.
He added: “EQUITONE is
a durable material which gives an attractive appearance – qualities we
always strive for on any project we’re involved in.”
Attic’s North London
facility has the latest self-storage design features, including
state-of-the-art security.
Frederic de Ryckman de
Betz, director of Attic, said: “EQUITONE has given our building an exceptional,
contemporary look that has completely transformed the street scene on York Way,
near King’s Cross.
“EQUITONE [natura] has
enabled us to ensure we continue to set the standard when it comes to building
new, independent self-storage facilities in London.”
EQUITONE [natura]
offers a tactile smooth surface which allows textures of the fibre cement to
show through the facade.
A durable facade
material, EQUITONE combines outstanding physical and aesthetic properties,
including a life expectancy of at least 50 years.
In addition, EQUITONE
meets the fire performance classification (A2-s1 d0), making it suitable for a
variety of building types.
All EQUITONE materials
are available in a range of colours, finishes and fixing options giving full
creative scope.
