Washroom project brief
Barr Gazetas engaged Dolphin Solutions to undertake the St. Martin’s Le Grand washroom project with seamless solutions for the entire commercial washroom to ensure a smooth and professional approach to this high-profile refurbishment.
Washroom project challenge
Refurbishing a heritage site comes with its own set of unique challenges. St. Martin’s Le Grand, a structure over a century old, presented us with unusual walls and confined spaces that required a tailored approach.
Preserving the integrity of the original architecture while incorporating modern commercial washroom solutions was a delicate balancing act.
The Dolphin solution
To maintain the heritage character of the building, Barr Gazetas opted for our PPC and Ceramic finishes for the St. Martin’s Le Grand washroom project, ensuring a consistency of colour that complements the historic surroundings. A striking contrast was introduced in certain commercial washrooms, reinforcing the building’s architectural elegance with a carefully curated aged bronze and black palette.
Space-saving considerations played a crucial role in the St. Martin’s Le Grand washroom project design approach. Working within the constraints of the existing commercial washroom layout, we collaborated closely with Structure Tone and MCS Limited to ensure a seamless integration of our washroom products.
Commercial washroom products included:
- BC725 Dolphin Single Robe Hook
- BC404 Dolphin Floor Mounted Door Stop
- BC727 Dolphin Toilet Brush Set
- DB175 Dolphin Infrared Sensor Tap with temperature adjustment
- DB793 Dolphin Blue Waste Drain – Slotted
- BC600 Dolphin Stainless Steel Wall Mounted Soap Dispenser
- DP3302 Dolphin Prestige Recessed Mounted Paper Towel Dispenser
And so much more.
Our expertise in maximising functionality within heritage structures allowed us to deliver a washroom solution that met both aesthetic and practical requirements.
The washroom project result
The St. Martin’s Le Grand washroom project incorporates stylish accessible toilet and premium superloo washroom fittings, all enhanced by sophisticated special finishes. These elements contribute to a modern, polished look that reflects current office washroom design trends.
The result is a beautifully presented commercial washroom that harmonises with the original structure, allowing the building’s historical charm to shine through. The Powder coating and Ceramic coating not only enhance the durability of the washroom products but also reinforce the timeless feel of this prestigious site.
Our client was delighted with the final outcome—a commercial washroom that respects the past while embracing the needs of the present. By carefully preserving some original design elements and incorporating high-quality, modern commercial washroom special finishes, Dolphin Solutions delivered an exceptional commercial washroom solution for a standout heritage building.
