48 CASE STUDIES We can provide valuable technical assistance and support to designers who are creating imaginative spaces for a variety of projects. Our case studies show just some examples of the projects we have worked on in partnership with architects and interior designers. 49

49 CASE STUDY NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM After visiting Blackheath s Staron exhibition stand at the 100 Percent Design Show, the Natural History Museum s in-house designer, Gemma Smith, worked with us and awardwinning design, build and fit out company, Paragon Creative. York-based Paragon Creative was commissioned to create a plinth which would house the most complete Stegosaurus skeleton in the world. The dinosaur, on display at London s Natural History Museum, was discovered in 2003 in Wyoming US and existed around 150 million years ago. The design brief was a tremendous challenge. The plinth had to support the armature for the Stegosaurus without actually touching it, eliminating the risk of vibration or impact movement. In total, the armature and skeleton weighs 900kg. Paragon s Production Design and Solid Surface facility designed an internal independent steel frame inside the outer plinth, which sits on bespoke shock absorbent feet. The outer plinth then surrounds and covers this inner plinth with no contact what so ever. This outer plinth is covered in two colours of Staron Solid Surface (Sanded Tundra and Sanded Stratus). Each layer has been CNC cut and fabricated to exact dimensions, which keeps the contours precise and even, and ensures the structure of the plinth is strong enough to carry the weight of the Stegosaurus. The whole plinth and Armature was then erected in Paragon s Solid Surface workshop in York before being dismantled and shipped down to the Natural History Museum and installed on site behind tight security. Paragon also built a Staron Solid Surface interpretation table, incorporating replicas of the dinosaur supplied by Propshop and Graphics and AV by the Natural History Museum.

52 CASE STUDY MERTHYR TYDFIL COLLEGE Merthyr Tydfil College needed reception counters for the main entrance and each department entrance, as well as food service counters and cash desks for the coffee shop and refrectory areas. The Staron design: Tempest Zenith was chosen as it best reflected the appearance of the shale rock that makes up a large part of the geology of the Merthyr Tydfil area. Staron s design features were utilised to their full; hygienic and easy to clean seamless surfaces with strong construction and great looks! Each of the reception desks were machined with a CNC router to allow Bright White Staron to be inlaid flush into the Zenith design to provide location signage in both Welsh and English. This work, while intricate, provided bold and clear signs that are easily cleaned and will stay looking as good as new. The project architect was Boyes Rees of Cardiff and the main contractor was Interserve. The reception counters were manufactured by Limebright of Newport Gwent and the service and coffee shop surfaces were manufactured by Counterline of Liverpool. 53

53 CASE STUDY CAFFE RIZZOLI, MEADOWHALL SHOPPING CENTRE Caffe Rizzoli teamed up with Staron and Blackheath (the exclusive Staron distributor in the UK and Ireland) to create a stylish, sophisticated meeting place, eatery and prosecco bar in a busy public area within the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. The underside of a public spiral staircase cleverly acts as the home for a working kitchen. The support and technical assistance provided by Blackheath has proved invaluable on our commercial projects. Roann Marble Company Limited Alongside ABA Architecture Ltd and the Roann Marble Company, Blackheath supplied Staron Bright White for seating, kitchen surfaces and food service areas. Despite the fast-paced environment, Staron s seamless joins and elegantly thermoformed shapes provide a sense of calm in the contemporary space. Sweeping arcs of Staron Bright White surfaces form the perimeter and a solid structure for the installation of recessed lighting, glass screens and seating areas. With no visible joins and smooth, non-porous surfaces, Staron gives Caffe Rizzoli easy to clean, totally hygienic and robust surfaces for food preparation in the kitchen and the serving of food and drink in the café and bar. 54

56 CASE STUDY GUY S HOSPITAL For the completion of its main entrance refurbishment in 2011, Guy s Hospital in London wanted to recreate the London skyline inside its public areas. Guy s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust commissioned the design partnership Artinsite to shoot three panorama photographs featuring iconic buildings from around the hospital s site at London Bridge. The images were selected to pick up the colours of the Trust s way-finding scheme and positioned to make best use of the three wall elevations. The images were digitally printed onto durable and hygienic class 1 fire rated laminate / MDF composite panels to satisfy all building regulations. Blackheath were very helpful and sourced the different aspects of production for us - their knowledge of the industry is impressive. Blackheath were true partners in that they took on the responsibility for getting the project right - for us and for Guy s Hospital. Louisa Williams, Artinsite These panels were produced to a maximum height of 4.5 metres and ranged from 12 to 20 metres in length. These impressive displays of famous London scenes are designed to put visitors to Guy s Hospital at ease, by creating a familiar visual environment with a great sense of space. Blackheath worked as part of the team alongside Artinsite and the supplier to produce stunning artwork which has won much critical acclaim since its installation. 57

57 CASE STUDY STOURBRIDGE COLLEGE During 2015, Stourbridge College Library was completely refurbished. For this project, we worked with commercial interiors and retail display fit out company Apex Design Ltd as designers, contractors and installers. Staron Bright White 12mm solid surfacing material was used with a lime green high pressure laminate to create the circular surfaces for the internet and access points within the Library. Staron Bright White was selected, as it is readily available from Blackheath Products: a crucial consideration for any contractor when the project lead time is tight. It is also hygienic, very easy to clean and hard wearing. Its solid colour also gives it the flexibility to be formed into circles (and any other shape) seamlessly. 58
