FOCUS 071
Lee & Thompson London
AMTICO’S Signature LVT flooring collection was specified by interior design experts Tirdway to provide the finishing touch to legal firm Lee & Tompson’s office headquarters update and rebrand in Fitzrovia, London. Te design transformed the tired, dated space into a practical and inspiring commercial environment. Te resulting contemporary workspace was given a high-end twist. With Lee & Tompson looking to push the traditional boundaries in which they worked, Tirdway’s project team translated this mindset into design. Legal teams were previously spread over multiple floors, but were soon reallocated to one floor, so as to achieve a more collaborative and creative style of working. Amtico Signature LVT was chosen for the project, with two patterns from the Designers’ Choice collection offering an eye-catching means of enhancing the office atmosphere as part of Lee & Tompson’s long-term vision. Some 71 sq m of Monotone, a design featuring three complementary neutrals in a bold pattern, was used in the kitchen and breakout area in a Key Stone Mini laying pattern, while 271 sq m of Mansion, French Weave arrangement, was fitted in the reception and meeting room in the honey-toned and textured details of Brushed Oak. Flora Sharp, designer at Tirdway, says: ‘Lee & Tompson are no ordinary law firm. Teir clients in media and sport are used to the delights of London’s members clubs and they wanted the office to emulate this. Te geometric flooring was specified to add colour and eye- catching detail; reminiscent of tiled flooring, the bold- pattern colours complemented the blue cabinetry. Te individual hexagonal shapes also allowed us to create a bespoke design layout.’
Te contrasting designs allowed for zones to be created within the office space, while maintaining the British-led style and sophisticated finishes integral to the overall design. In terms of the breakout area, this space also needed to accommodate events, so catering provision, kitchens and a large island for bar service were factored in, as was a 10m-long moveable glass wall. It was important for the materials specified to improve with age, without compromising the overall ‘members club’ feel.
