Fixtures and Finishes Workshop
At the end of October we ran a Fixtures and Finishes focus session with members of the Core Design Group. Armed with a variety of tile samples, render samples, and images of kitchen and bathroom fittings, we talked about the interiors of the housing units, and asked what others would like to have in their own home.
The priority from the group was to get a set of finishes that were robust and maintainable/cleanable. It was decided that internal finishes generally should be relatively neutral – so that they don’t go out of fashion and so you don’t have to live with someone else’s ‘bold’ choices! Ideally it would be good to keep some original features where possible, but otherwise a simple modern and clean look would be good.
The feedback from this session will be really useful as we progress Stage 4 designs towards tender issue.
