The entrance at Haven House has a green theme, provided by new Altro Orchestra smooth flooring in the shade Jungle, and Altro Whiterock Chameleon walling in Hawaiian Palm. Altro Orchestra has also been fitted in the shade Trumpet in the Family Room at Haven House, which transforms into a Sensory Room via a removable partition; and in the Activity Room in the shade Jungle. This ties in with the principles of biophilia – bringing the outside in and harnessing the healing powers of nature.
Continuing this theme, Altro Wood Safety flooring in Bleached Oak has been fitted throughout Haven House, in meeting rooms, cafe area, all corridors and bedrooms, creating a homely, non-clinical feel. On the entire first floor, the product has been fitted with Altro acoustic underlay to reduce sound levels.
“There is a real warmth about this wood-effect flooring, it looks lovely — something you would want in your own home and it’s not clinical at all.
“The acoustic underlay on the first floor has really helped to bring the noise levels down, and this significantly improves the wellbeing of both staff and children,” Judi continued.
The orange-themed Changing Room at Haven House has been fitted with Altro Whiterock Satins hygienic wall sheet in the shade Bergamot, with Altro Suprema safety flooring in Tangerine.
“This is such a striking room, the colours are superb and the juicy orange combination of flooring and walling is beautiful,” Judi added.
To create the yellow theme in Haven House’s Waiting Area, the design team chose Altro Whiterock Chameleon in the shade Bee, and Altro Suprema flooring in the shade Taxi Cab.
“The installers fitted a very clever overlap between the walling and flooring too minimise the joint and make it flush.
“This is also great for infection prevention and control, because the dirt has nowhere to hide,” Judi continued.
The disabled toilet at Haven House has a purple theme, with Altro Whiterock Satins on the walls in the shade Viola, and Altro Walkway 20 safety flooring in the shade Silk. The blue areas have Altro Whiterock
