Outcome
With over 100,000 employees in over 70 countries, BT is a corporate behemoth. Solus was recently consulted to supply ceramics for its new 328,000 square foot, 18-storey flagship office building near Aldgate East Station.
On the advice of Solus Sales Manager, John Rose, a bespoke terrazzo was commissioned. “BT wanted a modern grey monolithic look that would suit an office but at the same time had a bit of warmth. A lot of the space is tiled with a grey tile from our Format range, which contrasts nicely with the terrazzo.
“Large tiles – 600x1200mm and 30mm thick – with large grey, white, and brown flecks were specified. The joy of terrazzo is it’s highly customisable. Terrazzo artisans can create pieces that are totally unique and match the design vision exactly. It also has a super-high recycle value. BT has something that no one else has got, that has real character.”
The office has a BREEAM Excellent rating and 99% of materials removed from the site were recycled.
