The Challenge
Willmott Dixon Interiors required bespoke washroom solutions for the 19 Cornwall Street redevelopment, aligning with the project’s net zero carbon (NZC) objectives. The washrooms needed to reflect the high sustainability standards, including energy efficiency and environmental performance targets.
In addition to these demands, the site’s central location in Birmingham posed access and logistical challenges, making the delivery and installation process more complex.
Willmott Dixon sought custom adaptations of our cubicle designs, alongside pre-cut, pre-hung timber-framed HPL duct panels with integrated shelving—something Excelsior had not previously implemented. The challenge was to develop these innovative, eco-friendly solutions while overcoming the site constraints and ensuring the washrooms met both the practical needs and the overall NZC goals of the redevelopment.
The Solution
To achieve the desired finish for the washroom facilities at 19 Cornwall Street, our project manager, design manager, and CAD team collaborated closely with Willmott Dixon Interiors, attentively listening to their vision and helping to bring it to life.
The final design features a sophisticated selection of finishes, including slate greys, volcanic blacks, light ash, and icy whites, all contributing to a modern aesthetic. The building showcases our Flush44 range of cubicles, providing a sleek, flush-fronted corporate finish, along with our Select ducts and wall panels.
Additionally, we incorporated select modesty panels in the male washrooms and bespoke Magma troughs and vanity tops in a Duresein Niagara finish. Throughout the project, Excelsior's lockers and HydroSQ2 bench ranges were utilized, enhancing both functionality and style in the washroom spaces. This collaborative effort resulted in a stunning and cohesive design that aligns perfectly with the project’s sustainability and design goals.
