Ecospheric
The entrance hall features elaborate plaster cornicing and ceiling roses by The Coving Warehouse in Sheffield, refurbished chandeliers wired to accommodate power saving LED bulbs by Agapanthus Interiors in Stockport, and Victorian style mosaic flooring by Martin Mosaic in Wimbledon.
Graphene infused lime paint by Graphenstone has been used throughout the property. This natural, non-toxic paint is made flexible and super strong with the addition of Graphene, making it extremely durable and crack resistant.
Lime based paints are superior to other types of paint as they are breathable and act as natural air filters absorbing CO2.
