55 Gee Street, London

Made-to-measure stainless steel worktops, by GEC Anderson, were recently specified by Munkenbeck and Partners at the highly desirable city space known as 55 Gee Street, in London’s Clerkenwell district.

The funky, new build, mixed-use development comprises offices, shops and six, high-end apartments. Four flats have two bedrooms, a two bedroom duplex occupies ground and basement levels whilst the 150 m² penthouse has three bedrooms. Previously the site was occupied by a building belonging to Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Outside, the distinctive street facade resembles a Jenga block game, made up of extruded airbricks, randomly assembled. The bricks allow natural cross ventilation through the wall without having to make the glass panels move.

Inside, concrete, wood, stainless steel and glass dominate the open, elegant and functional living spaces. The continuous and expansive stainless steel worksurfaces in the kitchen areas blend-in perfectly within their neutral surroundings. Formed in one piece with no visible joins or junctions, the GEC Anderson custom stainless steel worktops include integral sink bowls and edge detailing. Full height splashbacks are included to alcove worktops whilst the striking penthouse kitchen includes a stainless steel island element.

Stainless steel worktops and splashbacks still are often associated with only commercial kitchens. However, specifiers have always recognised stainless steel as an interesting, practical and versatile worktop material for residential kitchens. GEC Anderson, with its high quality, brushed satin, stainless steel worktops has helped to promote the popularity of this material, since the early Sixties.

Alfred Munkenbeck, Munkenbeck and Partners, chose GEC Anderson worktops because they could be made in one piece, to the exact size and shape required and with the desired edge profiles, sink bowls and details. Touch kitchen units, from OIKOS, were supplied by Eurobath Trading UK. A full measuring and installation service was provided by GEC Anderson for main contractor, Morgan Sindall.
