The process permanently transforms the wood cell structure to give Kebony the attributes of tropical hardwood including high durability, hardness and dimensional stability. Deniz Beck, Chartered Architect at ERMC commented: “We are overwhelmed with the response received for the Hotwalls Studios. This project was certainly not without its challenges and required significant planning in order to maintain the structure’s status as a heritage monument. Kebony was instrumental in achieving our ambition; the material was incredibly robust and good-looking and we are already looking to use Kebony again in another exciting seafront project.” Adrian Pye, International Sales Director at Kebony added: “It’s wonderful to see how this ambitious project has become such an integral part of the city’s artistic community. We are always very proud when Kebony is used in a project of this nature, and we look forward to working with ERMC again in the future to contribute to another equally special development.” www.kebony.com Images: Jonty Sexton 64 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk
