2 2/5 A LIGHT MODERN AND UPLIFTING SPACE TO CALL HOME The project, which is a stones throw from Victoria Station, features a new reception, a dining area, bathroom facilities, accommodation, training centres and libraries, as well as self contained apartments, a gym, a women s refuge and office space for The Passage to run from. A main priority for the architects was to create a space that was easy to maintain and would stand up to heavy, long term use. Working with Solus Ceramics, the design team selected quality porcelain ranges that are widely used in heavy traffic commercial projects. Durable and stylish, tiles from the Monolith range in a 600x1200mm size were used throughout the ground floor of. Connecting the reception to the communal areas, the large format tiles provide minimal grouting and a solid, smooth finish. The use of the same colour and size also creates a flowing sense of continuity and sees the tiles line up perfectly throughout. This layout welcomes visitors, encouraging them to move freely from room to room. In addition, Solus Ceramics supplied large format anti slip floor tiles from the Tectonics range to shower floors and external areas as well as classically stylish gloss wall tiles from the Interiors and Glisten ranges. The idea of maintenance was key and the simple durable tiles are easy to clean whilst affording very high technical characteristics. Successfully opened at the start of the year the completed building has been well received, and is providing an uplifting environment that is helping clients to transform their lives.
