Subtle art deco references contribute to a sense of modern glamour.

An original terrazzo floor from the lobby and stairwell was beyond saving, so we took inspiration from the subtle Art Deco elements in the existing building’s façade. In the lobby, monochrome geometric floor tiling and a dark charcoal ceiling peppered with glamourous gold ceiling lights give a nod to Art Deco colour combinations, without being overt period design references. An Art Deco font was also selected for the wayfinding.

Jigsaw have created a combination of 84 new studio, 1 and 2-bed apartments. We emphasise built-in storage within the apartments, optimizing space and ease of use throughout for occupants, with fitted cupboards and wardrobes, and maximizing kitchen storage units at all levels. Partitions were created from crittall with reeded glass, ensuring some privacy and division of space without losing precious natural light. The Bath and Shower rooms have a hint of the art deco feel with the use of Matt black brassware & a feature monochrome floor tile.

The building has 5 floors; the lower level held no natural light, therefore making this the perfect location for a Club Room with a private dining area and work from home office space.  The predominantly black, white, and gold elements within the design gave a fresh, modern feel in the club and private dining room, through the inclusion of open shelving, housing a profusion of plants, and are also softened with areas of wooden flooring. The clubroom is designed to create various meeting corners so all tenants can use them at similar times.
