Top-flight design

The team instinctively wanted colour-soaked interiors to contrast with Centre Point’s forbidding white-grey exterior. Colours were selected for their mood-boosting properties – from the reassuring warmth of terracotta in the principal bedroom to the respective palettes of soothing pink and positive green in the guestrooms.

Shapes are also pivotal in complementing the geometric forms found in the building’s brutalist exterior. Materials – like bronze, marble and oxidised steel – play their part too in honouring the concrete, steel, glass, limestone and wood already present in the construction.
