Design firm, Sam Kopsch Studio, was handed the task of rejuvenating this St. Dunstans location, drawing on the nearby HMS Belfast, Shard and Tower Bridge landmarks to create an interior scheme that reflects its surrounding environment.
Sam Kopsch, managing director at Sam Kopsch Studio, explains:
"Each Office Space in Town design features a theme unique to the building, and with St. Dunstans being located opposite HMS Belfast and close by Customs House the nautical theme was a no brainer. Each meeting room was designed to reflect a specific area on a ship or boat – the hull, the keel, the stateroom, etc. – and the flooring was chosen to embrace this."
Going so far as to consult luxury yacht manufacturer Sunseeker on the scheme, Sam Kopsch Studio opted for Christy Carpets’ Bergere and Tram carpets in communal areas. Shades of blue define seating and working areas, surrounded by wood-effect vinyl flooring reminiscent of yacht decks. Then in board and meeting rooms, Sam Kopsch Studio added texture and a sense of luxury with Christy’s linear multi-loop Spice Route in a range of colourways.
By making carpets with Antron® and Antron® LegacyTM carpet fibre, Christy Carpets has allowed Sam Kopsch Studio to meet the exacting design demands of the brief, confident that their selected styles will perform in busy commercial spaces, offering durability and wear resistance. In fact, the Antron® LegacyTM carpet fibre used in Spice Route gives outstanding soil resistance and appearance retention, helping meeting and boardroom carpets to remain looking good, even in the high-use demands of serviced office space.
"I needed a range of carpets to make sure I could theme all the areas differently, creating the ‘right look’ that was the priority from the start," continues Sam Kopsch. "The carpets shown in the original design presentation are exactly what were installed."
