Introduction

Ideal-Standard are delighted to be able to showcase a total bathroom solution on such a significant project. The Duchy vision for the site is to create a traditional Cornish community and will be executed with a focus on quality using local materials and crafts wherever possible. Having commenced in November 2012, the site will hold two to four bedroom housing in the private sector, along with apartments and a mixture of two and three bedroom houses for the social sector. Morrish Builders has been contracted to develop just under half of the residential properties on the site, consisting of many smaller cottage-type properties where space can be limited. Ideal Standard’s Concept Space was selected to address this challenge, due to its range of innovative ceramics, baths and storage solutions, designed to transform small or awkward bathrooms into a beautiful use of space. Tregunnel Hill Location: Cornwall Challenge: To supply 70 bathroom suites in this first stage 28 year development programme of mixed use residential and commercial properties on Duchy of Cornwall land.

Concept Space

In line with the environmental vision for the site, Ideal Standard’s Concept Blue fittings range will also be installed, offering state-of- the-art water and energy saving solutions, whilst being healthier to use. Martin Evans, procurement manager at Morrish Builders, said: “Tregunnel Hill is a significant contract for Morrish Builders, as it is our first in Cornwall. It was vital we found a supplier that could help determine our specification needs and then form the link with both the distributor and our appointed specialist contractor to communicate them.“ “We realised that Ideal Standard was the ideal partner for us because its ethos is so closely aligned to that of Tregunnel Hill - namely a British manufacturer with innovation at its core. The strength in the Ideal Standard brand also adds to the perception of quality that we want to convey to our purchaser.”
