Tiles Used
In the reception, Solus supplied tiles from the practical and reliable Basalt range.
Outcome
Designed by Miller Bourne Architects, the £33 million development marks a pivotal moment in the college’s 150-year-history and offers a 21st century experience providing pupils with a healthy balance between schoolwork, cultural engagement, sport and socialising within the outstanding new facilities.
Completing the most recent phase of the project, the Winn Building welcomes visitors with an impressive double height reception area, fronted with a floor to ceiling glazed curtain wall.
Working with Solus, the architects selected practical and lightly speckled tiles from the Basalt range, which offers the authentic quality of basalt in the guise of porcelain.
Highly sophisticated and contemporary, the tiles help to create a modern ambience that elevates the school reception to a scheme that would not look out of place in a trendy commercial office.
In another part of the building, which features modern elements and traditional features from the existing college campus, Solus supplied tiles from the Terraform range, a beautiful collection of limestone-look tiles.
