Bespoke Terrazzo Reception Desk at 100 Fetter Lane
At 100 Fetter Lane, we delivered a standout bespoke terrazzo reception desk, designed with sustainability, practicality, and architectural intent in mind. The project also included premium ceramic and porcelain tiling across WCs, showers, and changing areas.
A Design Inspired by the Building’s DNA
The design concept began with a core sample from the existing concrete slab. This became the creative foundation for the desk’s unique terrazzo finish, connecting the final product back to the building’s structure and story.
A Practical and Sustainable Approach
The original proposal, a solid 80mm concrete slab posed significant structural and installation challenges. We worked with the team to adopt a lightweight, engineered panel system. This allowed us to maintain the aesthetic of traditional terrazzo while improving on-site efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
Locally Sourced, Carefully Crafted
To align with the architect’s vision, we developed a series of samples using locally sourced aggregates. Early versions used a green binder to reflect the original core sample, evolving to a more natural tone as the design developed. The final panels were cut and finished with precision, keeping joints to a minimum and achieving a seamless, monolithic look.
