Type of works: design and manufacture of multi-coloured, wall-mounted mailboxes.

Colour adds a contemporary twist to this bank of 30 mailboxes supplied and installed by The Safety Letterbox Company for high-specification social housing apartments at Ebony Court in Neasden, North London.

PCKO Architects specified the multi-coloured, wall-mounted arrangement to enhance the ground-floor lobby area of the four-storey block built by Higgins Construction plc for client Catalyst Housing Group.

The COM 2 steel mailboxes were engraved with numbering and finished in four matt RAL shades: Flame Red, May Green, Basalt Grey and Black Grey. The result is a striking, yet functional feature that proves mailboxes don’t have to be boring.

The Safety Letterbox Company (SLBC) is the UK’s leading manufacturer of secure mailing systems and can supply standard or design-led bespoke solutions to suit clients’ requirements from its range of more than 120 models of mailboxes. This includes colour, which is an increasing trend.
