GOING FOR GOLD WITH 220 LIFTS
When the finishing touches were needed for one of London ’ s most exclusive residential blocks , it was clear that only a touch of gold would do .
The 200m high , 58-storey Newfoundland apartment building , at the forefront of Canary Wharf , is the latest addition to the capital ’ s skyline , heralding the area ’ s pivot away from commercial premises to the residential market .
With one , two and three-bedroomed apartments for rent , it offers residents uninterrupted views over Canary Wharf and Docklands to the east , or the City and the rest of the capital to the west .
Tenants can enjoy a terrace , fullyequipped gym , lounge , self-service bar , private dining room , screening room and children ’ s play area , alongside all the benefits of living in the vibrant city .
With prices starting at £ 1,928 , a certain level of finish throughout the building is expected , and the lifts are no exception .
Commercial decorating contractor E Poole was looking to create a subtle gold effect on each of the 220 lifts , covering 55 floors , in keeping with the complex ’ s luxurious feel .
It was agreed in advance to wrap the lifts with vinyl , an easy-to-use , time-efficient option to create the desired effect with the minimum of fuss .
