Tiles Used
Two shades from the Travertine 1 range were used extensively on the ground floor.
Outcome
Work has been completed on the Mathematical Sciences Building, a facility to support the Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Sciences departments.
Designed by the award-winning team at Associated Architects, the six-storey building provides students, staff and academics with a ‘without walls’ concept, where teaching, research and office spaces are combined together within the scheme.
Centred around a central atrium, the design features glazed curtain walling and a contemporary pitched glazed ceiling, creating a spaced filled with natural light. Overlooked by lecture theatres, offices, research rooms, chill out spaces and walkways, the atrium has a vibrant, lively feeling that encourages collaboration.
The design scheme is focused on a neutral palette of grey shades and natural wood elements, all tied together with colourful pops of orange.
Solus were delighted to work with Associated Architects to supply flooring tiles to the ground floor of the atrium. The designers used two different colours from the Travertine 1 range,creating an abstract layout design to complement the contemporary architecture of the building.
