A dental clinic that transforms smiles has itself been transformed by the organic, sculptural forms of thermoformed HIMACS, integrated with atmospheric lighting.

The conversion of a Grade II listed building, with a history spanning over 130 years, requires thoughtful and imaginative planning at the best of times. However, this is all the more important when the building holds a special affection and relevance for a town steeped in an illustrious military past. In this instance it was more than just bricks and mortar. The building has a lineage dating all the way back to 1894, when the Duke of Connaught, Queen Victoria’s son and Gener

In its 90th year, it seems almost fitting that leading radiator manufacturer Stelrad has chosen to expand the range of options for its cast iron column radiators here in the UK. The popularity of cast iron radiators, albeit better manufactured and much more efficient than their elderly predecessors, has seen major growth in recent years, if anything making them even more popular now than they were in their so called heyday back between the mid nineteenth century and the 1920s

With Havwoods For many years, contemporary interiors were dominated by smooth surfaces and minimalist finishes. Today, designers are moving towards a more tactile aesthetic to introduce character and depth to spaces. From fluted wall panels and slatted partitions to brushed timber flooring and sculptural veneers, texture is rapidly becoming one of the defining elements of modern interior design. This shift reflects a growing desire for spaces that feel warmer, layered and mor

1936 was a good year for history – the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the abdication of King Edward VIII so he could marry his American divorcee girlfriend Wallace Simpson, Buddy Holly was born, public TV was launched for the first time in the UK and Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics much to the disgust of an up and coming dictator in Germany – Adolf Hitler. Manchester City won its first ever First Division title and Manchester United were relegated.
