As part of the full refurbishment of this flat in one of the Barbican towers, Thomson Brothers installed suspended ceilings which make it possible to have inset spot lighting & speakers. This is something we have now done in many Barbican properties over the past couple of years. We can assist with gaining the required listed building consent and landlords approval.
In this case separate concealed LED "mood" lighting was provided in a perimeter trough which also serves to neatly hide curtain tracks and blind mechanisms. On a photographic note, I was lucky enough to be taking pictures as the sun set; the LED lights momentarily complimented the flats stunning views of the London skyline as the light levels and colour balanced.
The design for this unit to house the flats audio visual system was worked up from our clients own concept. We took his original thumbnail sketch and created a finished design, liaising with Grahams Hi Fi to make sure all the equipment fitted and had adequate ventilation; the unit was made in our workshop before being fitted on site.
Earlier, still some minutes before sunset begins, St Paul's and the Millennium Wheel are both visible against the London sky. The views from the Barbican towers constantly alter with the time of day and change of season not to mention the differing daily events taking place below, in the city itself.
A suspended ceiling, partially installed at another Thomson Brothers Barbican project. In order to gain listed building consent; we produced detailed drawings and even a full size mock-up, prior to the actual work commencing.
The finished result.
