WRAS-Approved kitchen taps Graeme Blythe, National Contract Sales Manager at Abode says: “Creating homes in sought- after locations requires rigorous planning, exacting attention to detail and a design aesthetic which is sympathetic to the needs of a growing community. As Kidbrooke Village is an ongoing development which requires practical, contemporary, high quality kitchens, and so we were delighted to collaborate with M3 Design Development on this project and supply all the kitchen brassware. As M3 has been creating and
transforming interior architecture at every scale to a very high standard, we are proud our products have been chosen for their reliability, style and value.” The developer, Berkeley Group, build homes and neighbourhoods across London, Birmingham and the South of England, specialising in brownfield regeneration. Its many projects are designed to revive underused land to create unique, sustainable and nature-rich developments where communities thrive and people of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy a great quality of life. With this in mind, selecting robust products with warranties like our Althia tap is vital. With increasing urbanisation set to become a growing consideration in the UK development sector, new homes which meet strict criteria for ESG legislation are in demand, so we are delighted that our WRAS- Approved kitchen taps have been specified alongside quality raw materials like composite stone worktops, timber-effect flooring, and integrated appliances and LED lighting.
