CREATIVE WORKSHOP
DLA Design has made an impact on their clients by using their flooring design entry for the Amtico RIBA Design Competition in their own office space.
Created exclusively for the Amtico RIBA Design Competition, and now available as part of Architects’ Choice, DLA Design have used their entry ‘Workshop’ to transform their Clerkenwell offices and create a feature floor space.
When researching ideas for their Amtico design competition entry, DLA Design found inspiration right on their doorstep. DLA extensively researched its locality to analyse the materials, textures and colours that create the many different types of buildings and places in the area, from cobbled alleyways to historic warehouses, public houses to churches. Each of its three final patterns that were submitted to the competition sought to evoke the spirit of a different building type.
The linear nature of the flooring conveys the metal, brick and timber materiality of workshop buildings in the local area, which have since become popular with
creative industries. The flooring design for the entrance and reception areas was created using the Amtico Signature collection in an Arrow laying pattern. Dark timber and metallic patterns invoke a rich patina, which contrasts with a highlight of white washed timber.
To create a warm and welcoming environment in the meeting rooms and hallways carpets were added. Two Mannington carpet tile products from Amtico provide a textural pattern that fades in and out of focus and a border offers an elegant quality in an all-loop construction. The change in texture from LVT to carpet helps to define zones, reflective of the different areas of the office space and their function, while the use of similar colours keeps the design connected throughout.
Carpets not only offer impactful design for the DLA Design Group office but practicality too. The carpet tiles boast a 15-year warranty excellent fade resistance, soil resistance and texture
