Cortland Cassiobury was designed by ESA Architects and has transformed a former brownfield site with four blocks of apartments and a 25-storey tower. There are 367 units directly managed by Cortland and 119 social housing units managed by Sage Housing, all featuring Amtico Click Smart flooring in neutral wood tones, which was chosen for its acoustic properties and durability.
The in-house designers at Cortland wanted to create a harmonious living environment for all residents. Noise transfer between units needed to be kept to a minimum, so Amtico’s Click Smart flooring was specified for its 20dB impact sound reduction. Having worked with Amtico on other projects, Cortland appreciated both the acoustic properties of Click Smart, as well as its proven durability and reliability over many years. Laid in a simple Stripwood pattern, the flooring is featured in the kitchen, hallways and living spaces of each apartment.
Nimbus Oak creates a natural look, whilst adding warmth with its tone and colour variation.
The kitchen area features Nimbus Oak laid in Stripwood, from the Amtico Click Smart collection.
The Cortland design team created a contemporary, neutral aesthetic for the apartments that retains an urban feeling. For the flooring, Click Smart in Nimbus Oak was chosen for its In-Register Emboss, which follows the wood grain and creates a natural effect realistic to the eye and underfoot. The tones and colour variation add warmth to the 367 apartments and complement the colours of the kitchens. Laid in a Stripwood pattern, the floors make the living spaces look both fresh and inviting while bringing a cohesive and comfortable feeling to the homes.
Featured Products
"We have enjoyed working with Amtico and trust the brand and its products. With Click Smart, we were able to combine strong technical performance, excellent acoustic properties and a natural wood effect to bring warmth to the contemporary styling of Cortland Cassiobury. It’s been a great choice that will be much appreciated by the new residents of the apartments.”
