Oak Priory

Description

Situated in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, Oak Priory is a newly completed retirement living development that offers people over 55 the opportunity to live an active life independently for longer, in a safe and secure environment with the flexibility of tailored care. Solus worked with Just Imagine Contract Interiors, a company that specialise in the design, procurement and fit out of Care Homes throughout the UK, to supply tiles to the reception area of the project.

Tiles Used

Two complementary tiles from the Obelisk range were used on the floor.

Outcome

With a long history, many years experience and unrivalled talent in design for Dementia, Sheltered Housing, Specialist Care Homes and Villages, Just Imagine set about creating a high specification, tailored design perfectly suited for the needs of prospective residents.

The interior design brief was to present a scheme that reflected space and place, to give the building a sense of individuality and celebrate the city’s heritage and industry. The client required the interiors to portray a classic understated elegance, with comfort and the needs of residents being of the upmost importance.

The aesthetic of the project centres on neutral, earthy shades, with splashes of vivid colour, tactile textures, metallic finishes and subtle prints. Local themes were explored including transport, history and culture.

Emphasis was put on creating a warm and friendly ‘social hub’ reception where Almond and Taupe coloured tiles from Solus’ Obelisk range were featured.

Large format 600x1200mm sized tiles fill the majority of the wide and light space, whilst the darker 300x600mm tiles were used to border seating areas and other social spaces.
