A SKYLINE STATEMENT : THE RENAKER DEANSGATE SQUARE PROJECT WITH HAVWOODS
Located in the spectacular city of Manchester is the Renaker Deansgate Square project . Consisting of four skyline buildings that have been beautifully constructed to provide citizens with 1,508 on-trend apartments , the result is a stunning residential building perfect for those seeking a busy and fast-paced lifestyle in the city .
Providing warmth , beauty and prestige , Havwoods ’ Bronzo wood flooring from the Italian Collection was selected for its luxurious look and feel . Exquisitely designed with natural wood tones , the herringbone pattern offsets a rich and characterful aesthetic , creating the illusion of more space throughout . Used across the main living area , hallway and kitchen , each apartment in this building now embraces natural style whilst exuding complete sophistication .
As with all the boards from the Italian Collection , Bronzo is constructed with a traditional tongue and groove profile alongside a lacquered finish for extra durability . All of the boards across this range are inspired by the intricate floors of Italy , comprising narrower , thinner blocks that provide more flexibility for laying in complex patterns . These boards are also suitable for fitting over underfloor heating , making them perfect for interiors such as the state-of-the-art Renaker Deansgate project .
In the kitchen , the timeless pattern enhances the appearance of the space , whilst working exceptionally with art deco influences , sage green cabinetry and hanging pendant lights . This look is then carried out throughout the rest of the décor , leaving an interior that unifies and draws the eye .
