Maggie Centre in Manchester

The Maggie Centre in Manchester, designed by Foster + Partners features Ketley Staffordshire blue quarry tiles in a stack bond inside the timber framed building and Ketley Staffs blue pavers extend out into the garden.  The pallet of natural materials helps to create a  calm environment  and a light and homely space where people can relax.  The Staffs blue paving on the veranda and in the garden blend perfectly with the staffs blue quarry tiles inside the building helping to bring the  theraputic qualities of nature and the outdoors into the building, blurring the distinction between inside and out.  

The Horseshoe Pub in Hampstead

This gastro pub underwent a major renovation by DG Professional Interiors and a new quarry tile floor was a key component of the new interior design.   Rectangular staffordshire blue quarry tiles  (in the brick size) have been laid in a herringbone pattern with a light coloured mortar.

Temper Restaurant Soho

The Temper Restaurant in Soho is a new basement barbecue restaurant designed by Gundry & Ducker Ltd that opened in November 2016.  It was fitted out by Blue Crow Projects who used Staffordshire blue brick sized quarry tiles for the floor to great effect.  They have used a running bond in the main areas and a stock bond on the raised floor around the bar.  Matching Staffs blue brick slips also feature in a stock bond on the walls.  

Imperial Pub in Chelsea

The Imperial is a local Chelsea icon; built in 1870 in the style of a grand villa, it has been a social meeting place on the King’s Road for nearly 150 years. Situated in a conservation area, this historically significant building has recently undergone interior renovations which were designed by Henri Chebaane at Blue Sky Hospitality.  The new look successfully blends Victorian industrial heritage with contemporary chic using Ketley Staffordshire blue quarry tiles and brick slips on the wall of the bar.  

Sudbury Courtyard

Sudbury Courtyard is a recently restored range of historic buildings, previously the Estate maintenance yard, now open as retail shopping outlets and a cafe in the heart of Sudbury village.  Using traditional, authentic materials was very important to the developers in order to retain the atmosphere of this beautiful rural Estate set in the Dove Valley of South Derbyshire.  They used both Staffordshire blue and Staffordshire brown brindle quarry tiles and sealed them which has the effect of darkening the tiles.
