The Clubhouse, Hox Haus
When Manchester-based architects and designers 74 completed the major project of extending and remodeling a Grade-II listed, two-story Victorian brick building, Amtico Signature was chosen to add texture and an understated elegance to the multipurpose venue.
Challenge
Hox Park is a mixed use, master-planned development for students attending Royal Holloway, University of London. Manchester-based architects and designers 74 sought to extend and redesign an existing Grade-II listed, two-story Victorian brick building containing a variety of multifunctional spaces for studying and socializing. The repurposed building, Hox Haus, needed to serve as the central focus, clubhouse and social amenity for the Hox Park student campus.
Solution
As a durable option ideal for high traffic areas, LVT from the Amtico Signature Collection was chosen to add distinctive patterns and stunning detail as well as high performance. Ink Wash Wood was used throughout the Clubhouse, linking the finishes between the first and ground floors, including the internal stair treads. To create zones within the space, the Basket Weave Signature Layout was laid in neutral Woods and a bright Abstract color to provide the grounding for a games area. The lighter, natural grain of Nomad Oak was chosen to complement the Ink Wash Wood in the quiet study area of the first floor Gatehouse extension
