The Solid Wood Flooring Company manufactured a value engineered wood floor to meet the exact requirement and specification of our client, the Manhattan Loft Corporation.
They are the developers who brought loft living to London and behind Chiltern Firehouse and St Pancras Hotel, Manhattan Loft Gardens is a 42-storey, double-cantilevered skyscraper that is introducing a new way of hospitality, seamlessly merging short term stays with long-term hotel living.
Born from an aspiration to create a community of like-minded people interested in a social lifestyle, the building’s architecture has been propelled by a vision of social potency that is designed to encourage spontaneous interaction.
The 146-room design hotel occupies the first seven storeys followed by a fluid composition of 248 single and double-height loft apartments stretching to the 42nd floor. Individually designed by Parisian duo, Studio KO, each living space is beautifully proportioned and immaculately finished to common values of clarity, beauty and comfort. Combining world-class architecture, design, hospitality and art, it features three sky gardens with unparalleled views over London, outstanding dining offerings, Loft apartments and a hotel designed by Space Copenhagen.
Nominated for project of the year at the Building Awards, the Manhattan Loft Gardens offers an exceptional standard of living. To be a part of this project was a great honour to fulfil the requirement of 14,000 m2 of wood flooring we provided.
Design Brief for the wood floor:
The design brief was to create a band sawn finished floor that looked “Unfinished” with a high-quality UV cured oiled surface for total protection. Included in this was a price point so that all budgetary constraints could be met without sacrificing quality.
The boards are unique and unusual, being cross band sawn to create a textured finish that looks natural like the old boards in loft conversions. This matched the ethos the client was trying to achieve in both look and finish.
Our quotation came in 20% less than any other quote they had received, making us the natural choice to provide a balance of both quality and style at a great price. They could see how we are a cost-effective supplier for any architecture or interior design project.
The code for the product used in the project is TW E781 and our images display the project in progress and then the finished result.
