'Flooring is integral to the design as visually it is such a large part of any project and very much sets the tone. It also reflects the personality of the [client's] business - for example, Travertine is solid, detailed and interesting, while Resin is smooth and contemporary.

'We specify many carpet tiles and like to use new and innovative products. We also specify a huge amount of timber floor, which we love for the different looks that can be created. For example, parquet reflects a traditional approach, while wide planks are more contemporary and Scandinavian. We also love woven vinyl products such as Bolon and Fitnice by Quadrant, which reflects a modern approach and feel to flooring.

For the Salamanca Group a wide range of flooring was specified to define various areas

'Flooring is a huge statement about design functionality and is an area that requires enormous attention to detail to get it right. We recently completed a project for the Salamanca Group in which we had 1,000 sq m to work with. We specified a huge range of flooring and finishes, all of which really defined the various areas of the office and set the tone.

'Salamanca's signature motif of a squared hexagon was repeated through many aspects of the design. It can be found from the floors to the reception desk to the meeting room tables as a visual language linking the spaces.

Travertine was selected for the reception, detailed with copper inlays. We have also used in this project inset deeppile rugs and large-format ceramic tiles.

'Timber floor borders and poly-floor vinyl were selected for the workspace, rejecting the familiar carpet in place of a more contemporary finish. For all the remaining floors and all the meeting rooms we used a bespoke broadloom carpet.

'Overall this was a striking, clean and simple design with longevity in mind.' Resonate Interiors
