Mustard Wharf, in the heart of Leeds, is a Build to Rent development comprising of 247 boutique apartments and ground floor retail units across three buildings, situated close to the River Aire. Architectural interior design company, Lister & Lister, worked closely with Amron Architectural to design inspiring amenity spaces across the development. A central clubhouse was designed, providing residents with a variety of shared spaces connected by a dramatic steel plate staircase.
Expanded metal meshes in Zircon 45 and Zircon 60 were designed by Amron, for the stair soffits, and for balustrades within the Atrium space. In order to retain the appeal of a metallic appearance, a shade was chosen from Powdertech’s Anomatch™ range which resembles the sheen provided by anodising.
One of the advantages that Anomatch powder coating has over anodising is that it provides an homogenous finish across different metal batches and joined sections. Sections can be drilled or cut without fracturing the coating and material can be welded without affecting the subsequent finish. The client chose ‘Regency Gold’ from the Anomatch Collection making the staircase soffits and the balustrades a stunning feature within this residential development.
Powdertech is about to launch a new Collection of metallic finishes – look out for ‘Satellite’.
