www.secontrols.com Iconic washrooms created for London Bridge
Washroom Washroom’s new Iconica Collection has been used to stunning effect on a landmark office building on London’s iconic Southbank. Recently refurbished in a project led by Aros Architects with Kgb Managed Services as the main contractor, the common areas including wash-
rooms and lobbies were all brought up to Grade A standard. Washroom worked closely with the architectural team to refurbish both the male and female wash- rooms on level five of the building in a project worth £40,000. Opting to use materials not traditionally associated with washrooms and incorporating bespoke design elements from Washroom’s Iconica Collection was the ideal way to create a space which reflected the high specification of the building.
