Layered over three levels, Matter is a 3400m² purpose-built industrial looking club night club designed by Pentagram. Situated inside Greenwich’s O2 building, the club has a 2600 capacity with a dramatic triple-height void over the main 100m² dance floor. The raw concrete interior is the ideal blank canvas to show off unique 3D projections and coloured LED lighting. The exceptions to the grey interior, is the ceramic tiled toilet block, and the ticket foyer, which is clad in the contrasting grey and green Cembonit panels.
Cembrit supplied the panels to FGF of Leeds and they were installed by Beasley Joiners, also of Leeds. Cembonit panels are ‘through coloured’ and during the production process receive a unique impregnation treatment which protects the colour throughout the sheet. The sheets are characterized by their subtle, matt finish, and the impregnation process effectively protects against staining and dirt, ensuring that the facade retains its attractive appearance – an important feature in a busy night club.
