ne of London’s most iconic art deco buildings has been transformed by IDM Properties as part of a major restoration and renovation project which has seen part of the building converted into 66 stylish apartments. Many of the building’s original art deco features have been retained and restored, including grand staircases with wroughtiron bannisters, high-waisted dado rails, terrazzo flooring in the lobby and the original green colour scheme has been used in the corridors. Of course, the rich heritage of the façade, one of London’s most famous Art Deco landmarks, has also been preserved. Beyond the exceptional exterior and communal surroundings, the interior of the luxury apartments - which are available either as studios, or with one, two or three bedrooms - cleverly combine contemporary style with modern features, creating a unique and striking blend of the old and new. A central element of the design in these luxurious living spaces are the kitchens and HI-MACS® has been used to create impressive work surfaces in all 66 apartments. Contributing to the overall balance of high quality contemporary design with subtle art deco flair, the surfaces, which have been beautifully fabricated by Solid Fabrications Limited and supplied by James Latham, the exclusive distributor of HI-MACS® in the UK and Ireland, have been created using more than 100 sheets of HI-MACS® Andromeda. Debbie Northall, Specification Manager, Decorative Products, James Latham said, “IDM Properties have created something really special at the Hoover Building. When you stand inside one of these apartments, you are surrounded by luxurious materials and cuttingedge design. The combination of original art deco architecture and modern styling make them extremely desirable and the specification team here at James Latham are delighted that HI-MACS® Andromeda was selected.” As well as its ability to be joined seamlessly so that it appears to be fashioned from a single piece of material, HI-MACS® is ultraresistant and completely hygienic, and thus perfect for use with foodstuffs. Its pore-free surface prevents any build-up of waste or bacteria, making the kitchen surface easier to clean. Another nod to the building’s heritage in the kitchen is that the appliances, of course, have all been made by Hoover. Images by Tim Cole Photography

or over fifty years Corian® has offered an unbeatable combination of meaningful value, reliability and versatility. Always innovating, Corian® comes in an extensive collection of market-leading colours and can solve almost any design challenge. Proving especially popular in kitchen design is one of several key new developments: the Axix sink solution from The 1810 Company. Contemporary and stylish - this exclusive design matches the desirability and performance of a 12mm Corian® worktop with a unique, purpose-designed, stainless steel undermount Axix bowl. This blend of the best of both worlds means no visible joins as a sleek and hygienic Corian® worktop flows smoothly into the body of the sink. All the easy-care of Corian® - and a continuation of the chosen colour – in combination with extra protection against boiling water taps. Highly compatible with the latest technology, Corian® offers further pioneering solutions such as the Corian® Charging Surface, which enables smart devices to be powered up directly on the worksurface. New colours such as the translucent Grey Onyx and the subtle Neutral Concrete have also been a big hit since their introduction last year.

ince 2016 BA Clic Components has continually delivered on its promise to save your business time and money. As a growing client base can attest, by using ClicBox; the latest innovative concept in kitchen cabinet assembly, you too can benefit greatly from its tool-less furniture technology. With the ability to be assembled up to five times quicker than the traditional method of constructing kitchen cabinets, ClicBox’s concept has appealed to a broad range of clients such as builders, kitchen fitters, developers and merchant groups. Among its many advantages, ClicBox does not require any tools or screws when assembling the cabinets and has no visible fixtures. Instead of two or three fixing points, the entire edge of each panel creates an invisible locking point when they ‘clic’ together, providing more strength and stability than standard cabinets. ClicBox has truly been revolutionising how the kitchen manufacturing and construction industries do business. BA’s Sales and Marketing director, David Caulfield adds, “Our customers have been astounded by how quick and easy it is to assemble ClicBox cabinets. With 47 cabinet option, they love it, especially with the flat packed nature saving them transportation and storage space. We have added new colours to our range, with four in total so far including; White, Grey, Ivory and Lisso Oak. Listening to feedback we are constantly looking at new developments with ClicBox and we will be bringing three new cabinet sizes to the market, that will include a Belfast Sink option.” Top: ClicBox - the fastest solution for cabinet construction.

B
lum have recently launched their latest CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges – the 155° wide angle hinge, the CRISTALLO hinge for glass and mirror fronts, and the CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge for thin doors. Internal pullouts made easier with the 155° hinge. The new CLIP top BLUMOTION 155° wide-angle hinge by Blum offers enhanced convenience without taking up more space, as the tried and tested soft-close BLUMOTION has been integrated
into the hinge arm. This means that now even cabinets with internal pull-outs, like the popular SPACE TOWER larder solution, can use the award winning CLIP top BLUMOTION technology. The use of all the existing storage in the unit, larder or wardrobe for example, means no more wasted space, and the wide angled opening access is much more convenient. Boss and hinge arm cover caps are symmetrical so they can be used both left and right, making assembly impressively easy.
The new wide-angle hinge offers the usual advantages you’ve come to expect from Blum such as a boss drilling depth of just 11.5 mm and 3-dimensional adjustment. There is also a deactivation ability for the BLUMOTION function should that be required. Its wide opening angle and zero protrusion make it perfect for cabinets with inner pull-outs, such as SPACE TOWER. Glass or mirror fronts? No problem! Glass or mirror fronts demand a special

CLIP top BLUMOTION for thin doors solution. For glass or mirror fronts you’ve got it with the elegant CLIP top BLUMOTION CRISTALLO - now with integrated soft-close BLUMOTION. What’s special is that you simply glue an adhesion plate onto the door, using the handy adhesion template and then clip the hinge onto the plate. The linear design ensures that the new hinge blends discretely into furniture such as glass display units. Thin doors – Blum have the solution for these too. Blum now also
offers CLIP top BLUMOTION for thin fronts, allowing you to use exceptionally thin 8 to 14 mm fronts in a wide variety of materials. Once again, soft close has been integrated in the hinge arm. EXPANDO T is the name of the new fixing method that turns your ideas into reality. The innovative fixing system makes assembly easy and needs a drilling depth of just 6 mm. What sets CLIP top BLUMOTION for thin doors apart, is the EXPANDO T split dowel, which was
developed especially for this purpose. Steel pull-in anchors ensure a firm hold in hard materials, while plastic jaws ensure the same firm hold in softer materials such as MDF and chipboard. This 0-protrusion hinge means it can also be used for cabinets with internal pull-out drawers. All three hinges also come in onyx black, giving you even more scope for individualised furniture designs.

wetroom is effectively a fully waterproofed bathroom, where walls and floors are ‘tanked’ or sealed with layers of water resistant material. Their advantages are many, easier to clean, as there’s no shower screen or tray to worry about and if you go for a wall-hung sink and toilet, the floor can be kept completely clear. In addition they should prove more hygienic as the opportunities for mould growth are much restricted compared to a standard bathroom layout. Wetrooms are particularly good for the elderly or less able bodied. With no shower step to negotiate, adding half height screens can allow a carer to remain dry whilst assisting someone in the showering area. In some respects a wetroom can be viewed as a blank canvas – free from most of the normal obstructions – which can then permit greater design freedom in respect of the finishes. Tiles are the most popular wall and floor covering. In all situations, adequate provision must be made to remove water from the room, which requires both a drain outlet and direction for the run-off. For a workable wetroom therefore, probably the best way of achieving this is to make use of a pre-sloped tileable shower base. The most user-friendly option is to purchase one which offers the same positive physical characteristics as the best tile-backer boards, but incorporates an adequately sloping surface and an integral drain that is adjustable for direction of outflow and it is essential that the waterproofing membrane laid beneath the tiling can be permanently sealed to this drain. Given that these multiple criteria are met, then with their ease of maintenance and the sense of luxury, a contemporary wetroom is considered super-stylish by both design professionals and property pundits, meaning that – properly executed – they can add to both the enjoyment and the value of a home.
