Private house, Edburton, East Sussex

Set within the beautiful countryside of Edburton in East Sussex, this carefully considered residential project brings together warm contemporary aesthetics with the seamless versatility of Microtopping®. Designed in close collaboration with the homeowners, each space was tailored to create a cohesive yet distinctive atmosphere throughout the property.

The largest area within the project is the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, where Microtopping® was applied across the floor in the ever-popular colour Smoke. To create additional depth and character, darker tones were incorporated into the base layers beneath the final finish, producing subtle movement and variation throughout the surface. This thoughtful approach gives the floor a rich, organic appearance that responds beautifully to changing natural light while complementing the calm and refined interior palette of the home.

The ground floor bathroom and adjoining steam room were finished in the striking colour Marine, introducing a deeper and more atmospheric feel to the wellness-inspired space. The seamless application across the walls enhances the sense of continuity while perfectly suiting the moisture-resistant requirements of the room. In contrast, the ensuite shower room was completed in Smoke, creating a softer and more understated aesthetic that harmonises elegantly with the rest of the house.

Every detail of the project was carefully considered alongside the owners to ensure the final result reflected both the architecture of the property and the way the spaces would be experienced day to day. The installation was beautifully carried out by The Micro Cement Company, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and the timeless versatility of Microtopping® across floors and walls alike.

Great Western Studios, Paddington, London

Great Western Studios is a vibrant canal-side workspace in Paddington, originally designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, and flexible working within a characterful industrial setting. The later expansion of the building introduced two additional floors, carefully integrated into the existing architecture while the studios remained occupied and operational throughout the construction process. Designed by Bryden Wood, the project sought to retain the distinctive identity of the building while enhancing the sense of openness, natural light, and connectivity between spaces.

The new floors continue the building’s contemporary industrial aesthetic, combining exposed structural elements with warm and durable finishes suited to a busy creative environment. Large windows and open-plan layouts maximise daylight and provide views across the surrounding area and canal, reinforcing the collaborative atmosphere that Great Western Studios has become known for.

As part of the extension works, Microtopping® was selected as the floor finish for the new upper levels, helping to create a seamless and modern surface throughout the workspace. Its continuous appearance and refined concrete aesthetic complemented the architectural language of the project while also providing the durability required for high-traffic commercial use. Microtopping® was also applied across the four staircases connecting the new floors, visually linking the spaces together and enhancing the flow between levels. The result is a cohesive and contemporary interior that respects the industrial character of the original building while introducing a clean and sophisticated finish appropriate for modern creative studios.
