Description
The first phase of a £40 million campus redevelopment project at Lewisham Southwark College (LESOCO) by Platform 5 Architects and Richard Hopkinson Architects has ben completed.
Tiles Used
Tiles from the concrete influenced Monolith range.
Outcome
Natural toned tiles from Solus’ concrete inspired Monolith range were selected for this project in two colours and two different formats.
The richly coloured, ripple textured tiles were laid in an elegant pattern throughout the atrium, alternating between bands of 300x600mm and 600x600mm formats.
The tiles perfectly complement the bright and vibrant colour palette; the dynamic oak veneered ceiling panels; and the tall tubular tree-like columns. The perfect material for this type of project, Monolith offers fantastic natural character, durability and good slip resistance.
What was an unsightly and difficult courtyard, now offers a large and welcoming space that can perform a range of uses: From a flexible teaching area, to a venue for exhibitions or events, the atrium is a key focus or events in the college year.
Solus would also like to extend their congratulations to the project architects: Platform 5 Architects together with Richard Hopkinson Architects, as the project recently won the Architect Journal’s 2015 Retrofit Award in the ‘Higher Education’ category.
