Merrazzo Algarve resin based terrazzo
Broadwalk House is a distinctive 300,000sqft. office building on the Broadgate Estate, the banking hall style reception space has consistently appealed to corporate finance and banking tenants. Our Merrazzo Algarve resin based terrazzo was specified throughout the reception area.
The refurbishment was created with a light touch, but transformed the main building entrance and reception, upper-floor common areas, WC’s and half of the office floors. Work was undertaken whilst the other office floors remained in occupation.
The reception refurbishment reused many of the existing high quality materials, which complements terrazzo, but also helped to transform the space into a contemporary interior whilst retaining the grandeur and sense of arrival.
Terrazzo is also in harmony with the edgier interventions such as the distressed metal ceiling raft and lighting which have contributed to the building appealing to the next generation of banking tenants with start-up bank Monzo taking the vast majority of vacant space in the building.
The gentle approach to refurbishment and the reuse of materials as well as the use of terrazzo, contributed to meeting British Land’s exacting sustainability targets.
