HI MACS ® SPECIFIED FOR IMPRESSIVE HOOVER RESTORATION
One of London ’ s most iconic art deco buildings has been transformed by IDM Properties as part of a major restoration and renovation project which has seen part of the building converted into 66 stylish apartments .
Many of the building ’ s original art deco features have been retained and restored , including grand staircases with wroughtiron bannisters , high-waisted dado rails , terrazzo flooring in the lobby and the original green colour scheme has been used in the corridors . Of course , the rich heritage of the façade , one of London ’ s most famous Art Deco landmarks , has also been preserved .
Beyond the exceptional exterior and communal surroundings , the interior of the luxury apartments - which are available either as studios , or with one , two or three bedrooms - cleverly combine contemporary style with modern features , creating a unique and striking blend of the old and new .
A central element of the design in these luxurious living spaces are the kitchens and HI- MACS ® has been used to create impressive work surfaces in all 66 apartments . Contributing to the overall balance of high quality contemporary design with subtle art deco flair , the surfaces , which have been beautifully fabricated by Solid Fabrications Limited and supplied by James Latham , the exclusive distributor of HI-MACS ® in the UK and Ireland , have been created using more than 100 sheets of HI-MACS ® Andromeda .
Debbie Northall , Specification Manager , Decorative Products , James Latham said , “ IDM Properties have created something really special at the Hoover Building . When you stand inside one of these apartments , you are surrounded by luxurious materials and cutting-edge design . The combination of original art deco architecture and modern styling make them extremely desirable and the specification team here at James Latham are delighted
that HI-MACS ® Andromeda was selected .”
As well as its ability to be joined seamlessly so that it appears to be fashioned from a single piece of material , HI-MACS ® is ultraresistant and completely hygienic , and thus perfect for use with foodstuffs . Its pore-free surface prevents any build-up of waste or bacteria , making the kitchen surface easier to clean .
Another nod to the building ’ s heritage in the kitchen is that the appliances , of course , have all been made by Hoover .
