In one of their most eye-catching projects to date, Maxwood installed digitally-printed glass Maxwall duct panels and white, flush-fronted Maranté cubicles in this important centre of medical research. The images are enhanced microscopic images chosen from a selection submitted by college members in a competition, with over 20 images being used across the nine floors.
“Surprisingly, the most challenging detail on this project was the vanity bin configuration. We had to design several variations of the same bracket to support our Corian® Xeista vanity tops, to avoid pipework and then incorporate a bin design around these. The final solution was created by fixing lift-out bins to the rear of the vanity panels, which were bottom hinged for access.”
Joel Owen, Design Manager, Maxwood Washrooms
“…The resourceful Maxwood attitude to sourcing unusual glass for IPS was great and we welcomed the attention to detail taken to make the bin chutes work in the vanity units. Good attention to detail and efficient process of producing and signing off drawings. High quality product and high quality people!”
