A group of architects from BuckleyGrayYeoman recently undertook the refurbishment of 10 Bloomsbury Way for London & Regional Properties.
The former Ministry of Defence building has been extended to create an open, modern workspace.
Its new design incorporates a double-height reception, complete with restaurants and retail space on the ground floor.
Since its completion, the re-development has achieved an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating.
Armourcoat’s KonCrete polished plaster wall finishes were used to add the finishing touches to the refurbishment.
Designed specifically for contemporary projects, the finishes were specified to help the architects at BuckleyGrayYeoman to achieve an urban feel.
With an array of design options – including distressed effects or recessed ‘shutter’ markings – the range allows individual designers to create distinctive modern looks for their projects.
As a natural mineral product, Armourcoat’s KonCrete finishes contain 40% pre-consumer recycled marble and low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content.
The products have also achieved Class 0 and Class A Fire ratings.
