As part of a total conversion of this listed property, Barrisol was selected due to the products outstanding performance in both swimming pool areas and its acoustic properties within multi purpose entertainment suites, whilst also remaining consistent within the high quality aesthetics throughout the rest of the fit-out.

Matt White Barrsiol was installed comprising of a slow curve over the pool with beams wraps and a split level ceiling around the perimeter bar and seating area. Fibre optic colour change lighting was accommodated over the pool area offering a relaxing or invigorating display dependant on the occasion.

The curved ceiling design was adopted to accentuate the height and to compliment the fibre optics achieving 81% light reflection aiding the mood lighting. Whilst the remaining areas were very much dictated by the restriction of height caused by the ducting system, consideration towards encouraging the appearance of a greater ceiling height within the basement pool was paramount.

AIS Awards Judges commented:
This project has to be seen to be believed. A gentle barrel vaulted ceiling surrounded by very crisp bulkheads - absolutely fabulous.
