Situated in the centre of Scotland’s capital city, the historic and luxurious Doubletree by Hilton, Edinburgh is a listed 1892 building, immediately recognisable against Edinburgh’s skyline with its domed roof architectural design.

Several key interior areas of the hotel recently underwent a stunning re-design from Glasgow and London-based architecure and interior design studio, ‘We Are ICA’, a company who have worked internationally on a range of high profile interior design projects.

Many of the hotel’s rejuvenated interiors, including the ‘Bread Street Brasserie’, the ‘Monboddo Bar’, as well as a range of reception foyers and seating areas, featured a selection of lighting products from Heathfield & Co.

Kenneth Meikle, Sales Director at Heathfield & Co commented on the stunning ways in which Heathfield & Co’s lighting products were utilised in the hotel’s interiors:

“The Doubletree by Hilton, Edinburgh was a fantastic project for us to be a part of as a supplier. It enabled us to showcase the creative ways in which our products can be manufactured to the client’s bespoke specifications.

“This customisation process provided the hotel with a unique range of lighting, that was able to achieve the maximum desired visual impact.

“The Ellipse ceiling pendant, for example, was utilised in a particularly creative way. Shades were carefully clustered together in groups of four to create much larger geometric designs that became real feature pieces for the hotel. (shown on previous page)

“Other products throughout key areas of the hotel effectively featured bespoke shade colours and fabrics”

Sculptural White:

New Table Lamp

DesignsSculptural in silhouette and presented in a crisp white palette, decorative lighting

brand Heathfield & Co arepleased to reveal a selection of their latest

statement table lamp designs for 2014


A minimalist interlude from the bold, clashing colours saturating the interiors world, the collection draws inspiration from elements of Brutalist design with a strong focus on architectural form.

A calmer alternative to vivid tones, white offers a sense of serenity and simplicity that is easily coordinated into any interior scheme for timeless appeal.

The Babylon Ivory table lamp is the perfect choice for creating an eye-catching lighting feature. Influenced by forms and textures from Asia, the statuesque base is adorned with a series of tactile nodules and finished with a glossy crackle glaze that catches the light wonderfully. Echoing the fluidity of water, the Trier and Willow designs are both crafted with beautiful rippled bases that add a feminine aesthetic to interiors, complemented with an Antique Ivory semi matt glaze and linen shades in subtle, neutral tones.

The epitome of luxurious style, each design works perfectly in both contemporary and more traditionalsettings. Whether positioned to brighten a dark hallway, placed on a side table to create a warming ambience in entertaining spaces or simply as a decorative lighting sculpture, Heathfield & Co’s expert design and craftsmanship results in striking and functional illuminated designs that enhance interior spaces to their full potential.

“Heathfield & Co, have launched a stunning new range of bespoke light installations, created to challenge and enhance public area spaces such as hotel lobbies, receptions, staircases, atriums and restaurants. The designs, previewed on the company’s new website, have been developed to create sculptural focal points for specific areas within large interior spaces.

The inspiration behind this new collection has come from within the design team at Heathfield and is led by Chris Fox, who will be working continuously to expand the installation range. Chris has teamed up with both of Heathfield’s UK based factories and is able to draw on the wide range of production facilities that the company maintains.

Chris Fox commented on the range of installation designs “Heathfield & Co are very open to new ideas,

choice of materials, shape and form, giving me space to explore. I experimented a lot with material combinations in the designs as Heathfield & Co have a lot of capabilities in glass, metal, and

ceramics. You have to think a lot

about how they transmit, reflect and colour light, but this also allows you to play. Light installations after all can be very sculptural and create a focal point within a space”.

Andrew Watson, Managing Director at Heathfield & Co, also commented on the launch of the

installation range “It’s massively exciting to see these ideas

being developed and worked through so that, when

completed, they provide a stunning impact, perhaps in an atrium or foyer of a large building, or the ballroom of a five star hotel… I love to see the creative process bring a

huge impact to bear on our clients’ vision!”

All of Heathfield & Co’s installation designs can be

fully customised to a project’s exact requirements. For more

information of the installation range please visit http://www.heathfield.co.uk/installation.”

these ideas being developed and

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | HELEN QUAINE



Interview with Helen Quaine

MKV Design is a greatly respected, award-winning architecture design company in London comprised of highly skilled and experienced designers. The company says that it makes individuality their business, in the premier hotels, exclusive

resorts and private residences that they design around the world.

Associate Helen Quaine heads up the FF&E design team and has worked within the industry for over 11 years. In our latest interview we

discuss with Helen her work with the Sheraton Grand Spa Hotel which featured a range of products from Heathfield & Co, what well known space she would love to redesign and much more.

The Sheraton Grand Spa Hotel project featured a number of products from Heathfield & Co. What is it about these particular products that you think complimented the hotel’s interiors so well?

Heathfield & Co produced bespoke light features for the Sheraton Grand & Spa, Edinburgh. The cascading waterfall light sculpture in the reception lobby is a main focal point in the hotel. Drawing inspiration from Edinburgh’s notorious inclement weather, it is delicate but still has a strong presence within the double height space.

What is usually the first step in the creative process when you get a new brief or client?

We set out from the beginning with an intuitive approach that embraces space and light, texture and colour in a way that responds to the varying human needs of sanctuary and repose, display and stimulation.

What do you think gives your company a unique element?

We relish opportunities to challenge the merely conventional and to refine the spirit of luxury, creating dream homes, unforgettable destinations and outstanding hotels that serve the test of time.

What is your personal favourite Heathfield & Co product(s) to date and why so?

Abies Cylinder table lamp. For its mid-century inspiration and the colour green!

Is there any well known or public space that you would love to be able to redesign?

Its small scale, but I would love to acquire one of the beautiful white washed fishing cottages of Paternoster in the Western Cape (South Africa) and convert it into an inspiring boutique guesthouse. I would draw inspiration from the azure colours of the Atlantic Ocean and the arid landscape that surrounds.

What interior trends do you see emerging as particular significant for this year?

Relaxed and understated, colours are soft and muted. Patterns are strong, geometric and inspired from history and nature.

ITALIAN FUTURISM AT THE

GUGGENHEIMFrom February 21 through September 1, 2014, the Solomon R. Guggenheim

Museum presents Italian Futurism, 1909–1944: Reconstructing the Universe, the first comprehensive overview in the United States of one of Europe’s most

important 20th-century avant-garde movements.

Featuring over 360 works by more than 80 artists, architects, designers, photographers, and writers, this multidisciplinary exhibition examines the full historical breadth of Futurism, from its 1909 inception with the publication of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s first Futurist manifesto through its demise at the end of World War II. The exhibition includes many rarely seen works, some of which have never traveled outside of Italy. It encompasses not only painting and sculpture, but also the advertising, architecture, ceramics, design, fashion,

film, free-form poetry, photography, performance, publications, music, and theater of this dynamic and often contentious movement that championed modernity and insurgency.

The exhibition is organized by Vivien Greene, Senior Curator, 19th- and Early 20th-Century Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. An international advisory committee composed of eminent scholars from many disciplines provided expertise and guidance in the

Umberto Boccioni, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (Forme uniche della continuita nello spazio), 1913 (cast 1949), Bronze, 121.3 x 88.9 x 40 cm, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Bequest of Lydia Winston Malbin, 1989, © The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Image Source: Art Resource, New York

preparation of this thorough exploration of the Futurist movement, a major modernist expression that in many ways remains little known among American audiences.

The exhibition begins with an exploration of the manifesto as an art form, and proceeds to the Futurists’ catalytic encounter with Cubism in 1911, their exploration of near-abstract compositions, and their early efforts in photography. Ascending the rotunda levels of the museum, visitors follow the movement’s progression as it expanded to include architecture, clothing, design, dinnerware, experimental poetry, and toys. Along the way, it gained new practitioners and underwent several stylistic evolutions—shifting from the fractured spaces of the 1910s to the machine aesthetics (or arte meccanica) of the ’20s, and then to the softer, lyrical forms of the ’30s. Aviation’s popularity and nationalist significance in 1930s Italy led to the swirling, often abstracted, aerial imagery of Futurism’s final incarnation, aeropittura. This novel painting approach united the Futurist interest in nationalism, speed, technology, and war with new and dizzying

visual perspectives. The fascination with the aerial spread to other mediums, including ceramics, dance, and experimental aerial photography.

Italian Futurism concludes with the five monumental canvases that compose the Syntheses of Communications (1933–34) by Benedetta (Benedetta Cappa Marinetti), which are being shown for the first time outside of their original location. The paintings celebrate multiple modes of communication, many enabled by technological innovations, and correspond with the themes of modernity and the “total work of art” concept that underpinned the Futurist ethos.

Italian Futurism, 1909–1944: Reconstructing the Universe is accompanied by a range of public programs, including a series of lectures by Futurist scholars. For complete information about the programs presented in conjunction with the exhibition, please visit guggenheim.org/calendar.

HEATHFIELD & CO | INSTALLATION FOCUS: COLUMN

Installation Focus‘Flow’

Heathfield & Co’s stunning installations will soon be joined additional designs including ‘Flow’, a powerful and sculptural design that features large-scale,

minimalistic and elegant glass forms.

Heathfield & Co recently launched their stunning range of bespoke light installations, designed to provide a collection of dramatic focal points that can transform and enhance a multitude of interior spaces. This range of installation designs has already received fantastic feedback from clients, design websites, social media channels and the wider design industry.

The fifteen currently unveiled installations are soon to be joined by a further selection of brand new designs, created by Heathfield & Co’s in-house installation design team.

One of the designs that will be joining the installation range will be ‘Flow’, a powerful and sculptural design that features large-scale, minimalistic and extremely elegant illuminated glass forms.

The design is ideally suited to large-scale interior spaces, as shown here creating an etherial and dramatic focal point in a vast church setting. The ‘Flow’ design features highly sculptural, curved, cylindrical glass forms which are available comprised of either blown glass spheres or rings, with each element being individually lit and suspended on a frame to create a three-dimensional flow of light. The forms appear to effortlessly and gracefully float in their surroundings.

The ‘Flow’ design also lends itself to being able to utilise several of the glass forms in numerous combinations and arrangements. The forms can be positioned as a collective group, or alternatively, their shapes can be beautifully intertwined with each other, creating stunning symmetrical designs with a vast

number of possible arrangement options.

As with all of Heathfield & Co’s light installation designs, ‘Flow’ can be fully customised to suit any bespoke requirements. Whether it is a project’s space and size constraints, working with a range of possible coloured glass options or designing the actual shapes of the glass forms and their positioning and arrangement, Heathfield & Co’s dedicated installation team can ensure that any project’s bespoke requirements are fully met, from the concept stage right through to the completion of the installation project.

Also soon to join Heathfield & Co’s range of installation designs is ‘Leaf’. This elegant design is comprised of a series of intricately cut circular, and clustered together, metal forms. ‘Leaf’ lends itself perfectly to being suspended through spaces such as large stairwells.

Another design that will soon be joining the installation range is ‘Birch Forest’. This dynamic design is comprised of skilfully manufactured glass rods which refract the light source within to create a soft, ambient glow. ‘Birch Forest’ is perfectly suited to smaller, more intimate settings such as bars, restaurants and longue areas.

For information on all the current range of installation designs including images, material and dimension specifications, please visit http://www.heathfield.co.uk/installation/view/ or for more information speak to Heathfield & Co’s sales team on 01732 350450 or via email at [email protected].

Constructing Worlds at the Barbican

Barbican Art Gallery, Barbican Centre, UK25th September 2014 - 11th January 2015

Since the very first photograph, architecture has proved to be an enduring subject matter for photographers. Constructing Worlds looks beyond the

medium’s ability to simply document the built world and explores the power of photography to reveal wider truths about society.

The exhibition brings together 250 works – some rarely seen and many shown in the UK for the first time – by 18 leading photographers from the 1930s

to now, who have changed the way we view architecture and think about the world in which we live.

Beginning with Berenice Abbott’s ground-breaking photographs charting the birth of the skyscraper in New York, the show takes the visitor on a global journey of twentieth and twenty-first century architecture, including: Lucien Herve’s subtle evocations of modernity as found in Chandigarh by Le Corbusier; the luxury lifestyle of Julius Shulman’s images of California’s residences; the moving nature of Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum as seen by London based photographer Helene Binet; the recent dramatic growth of Chinese urbanisation recorded by Nadav Kander and the devastating effects of war in Afghanistan as expressed in the poignant images of Simon Norfolk.

Artists include: Berenice Abbott, Iwan Baan, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Helene Binet, Walker Evans, Luigi Ghirri, Andreas Gursky, Lucien Herve, Nadav Kander, Luisa Lambri, Simon Norfolk, Bas Princen, Ed Ruscha, Stephen Shore, Julius Shulman, Thomas Struth, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Guy Tillim. The exhibition is designed by the internationally recognised Brussels architecture firm, Office KGDVS, led by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen.

Jane Alison, Head of Visual Arts, Barbican, said: “Photography and architecture have a long and shared history and yet amazingly this is the first major exhibition in London to throw light on this relationship.

Featuring key photographers and major architects it brings together two key strands of Barbican Art Gallery’s programme and is a must see for anyone interested in how we experience architecture and the world in which we live. Since its inauguration in the early 1980s the Art Gallery has championed photography through seminal exhibitions including American Images: Photography 1945-1980 (1984); William Eggleston: Ancient and Modern (1992) and more recently In the Face of History: European Photographers in the Twentieth Century (2006) and Everything Was Moving: Photography from the 60s and 70s (2012).”

Organised both chronologically and thematically, the exhibition opens with Berenice Abbott’s ground-breaking photographic project Changing New York (1935-1939) that captured the transformation of New York into a modernist metropolis, focusing her lens on the dramatic changes the city was undergoing with towering skyscrapers replacing older low-rise buildings. At the same time, Walker Evans was on assignment for the Farm Security Administration photographing the vernacular architecture of the Deep South which bore witness to the adverse consequences of modernity. In contrast, Julius Shulman’s photographs of the Case Study Houses programme (1946-1966) capture the experimental architecture and ideal modern lifestyle encapsulated in California in the 1950s. Le Corbusier quickly gauged the power of photography to communicate the essence of his architectural vision which was perfectly expressed in Lucien Herve’s cinematic documentation of Chandigarh, India – a modernist symbol of a newly independent India.


DESIGN | CONSTRUCTING WORLDS AT THE BARBICAN

Reflecting on the legacy of Walker Evans’s objective documentary style and interest in vernacular architecture, which influenced a generation of photographers across the USA and Europe during the 1960s and 70s, the exhibition goes on to consider the works of Ed Ruscha, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Stephen Shore and Thomas Struth.

Combining the cityscape of Los Angeles with the

vernacular, Ruscha’s photobooks Some Los Angeles Apartments (1965) and Thirtyfour Parking Lots (1967) communicate a particular urban experience whilst the decaying industrial European landscape is the focus of Bernd and Hilla Becher’s comprehensive archive of arcane industrial archetypes. Stephen Shore’s explosive colour photographs from Uncommon Places (1972) and Amarillo – Tall in Texas (1972); and the unsentimental street scenes of Unconscious Places

by Thomas Struth all reference Evans’s nascent documentary approach, whilst reflecting on the repetition and banality which modernity can incite.

Reflections on Architecture consider photographers’ interpretations of and their response to architects and iconic buildings of the modern age. Providing layers of narrative and injecting ancillary meaning to the physical space, these photographs offer a way of understanding the architects’ intentions in relation to the lived reality, as exemplified in Luigi Ghirri’s lyrical response to Aldo Rossi’s architecture; Helene Binet’s studies of fragments of Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum, Berlin; deliberately blurred photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto of iconic twentieth-century architecture; Luisa Lambri’s exploration into the reality of inhabiting and living a modernist lifestyle in domestic Modern architecture; and the response to the impersonality of today’s global cities in Andreas Gursky’s monumental photographs.

Constructing Worlds culminates with Cities in Change, where the contemporary experience of the urban built environment is conveyed through Guy Tillim’s expose of late-modernist-era colonial structures in Angola, Congo, Madagascar and Mozambique in the series Avenue Patrice Lumumba (2008); Simon Norfolk’s Chronotopia (2001) and Burke + Norfolk (2010) series,

which show how the scars of the past are revealed in the architectural present; Bas Princen’s documentation of the urban transformation in the Middle East in Refuge, Five Cities (2009); Nadav Kander’s portrayal of the impact of colossal modern construction; and though the Torre David series by Iwan Baan, which captures an example of contemporary usurpation, adaptation and repurposing of architecture.

Building on the legacy of the Barbican’s iconic architecture and pioneering approach to curating photography, the Constructing Worlds season presents a constellation of projects that celebrate the interplay of photography, architecture and life – as well as creating new portraits of the Barbican for our time. With the exhibition exploring photography’s special relationship to architecture as its catalyst, the season also comprises: a new commission in the Curve by the internationally acclaimed artist Walead Beshty; a dedicated film strand City Visions, focusing on the energy and complexity of global city living and follows our 2013 acclaimed Urban Wandering season; a brand new film commission and residency by Ile Beka and Louise Lemoine, best known for their now legendary take on Rem Koolhaas’s Maison a Bordeaux, and the first of a changing series of displays devoted to the history and life of the Barbican.

Cast from authentic pieces of reclaimed driftwood, the latest table and wall lights from Heathfield & Co combine an organic and informal source of design inspiration with luxurious Nickel finishes. The result is stunning and original series of table lamp and wall light designs.

From the bold, sharp lines of the ‘Fontaine’ and ‘Flame’, to the softer flowing forms of the ‘Aquilla’ and ‘Rivoli’, these metal table lamps feature a varied yet complimentary range of designs, providing the ideal lighting solution to a multitude of interior spaces.

Perfectly complimented by a range of muted, natural shade tones, these lamps are shown with equally effective silk, linen and satin shades.

The Quartz provides a beautiful yet highly dynamic feature wall light, lending itself perfectly to both traditional as well as contemporary interiors. Shown opposite, the wall light demonstrates the stunning result of accompanying the Nickel design with a bold, statement shade tone.

The Fontaine table lamp was recently featured in Heathfield & Co’s project portfolio for the Sands Hotel, Margate. The hotel commented on the selection of Heathfield & Co lighting chosen for it’s interiors “In our design and decor we have used the magnificent seascape as inspiration. The vast open skies, the sparkling sands and the drama of the sea all influenced our choices for colour and lighting, and we’ve tried to bring some of that magic inside”.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | NICHOLAS HOLLINSHEAD


that was some 25 years ago. For the past 10 years NH Interiors have specialised in independently owned boutique hotels and have taken a much more personal approach with their clients. There are now only 5 people in the Practice who all work on each and every project ensuring total continuity from beginning to end.

In our latest interview we discuss with Nicholas his involvement with a range of Hotel projects featuring lighting from Heathfield & Co, the design trends of 2014, which well known space he would love to redesign and much more.

What do you think gives your company a unique element?

Our attention to detail and our theatrical approach to creating opulent interiors that guests will remember long after their stay. The hotels that we design are special places where guests are cosseted and spoiled, they are there to enjoy the surroundings, the service and the wonderful food offerings available to them and our interiors are designed to exceed their expectations.

That said, we do not lose sight of practical and operational needs, and work closely with the hotel Management team to ensure that the finished product not only looks stunning visually but works operationally on a day to day basis.

Interview with

Nicholas Hollinshead

Nicholas Hollinshead commenced his career in Hotel Operations some 40 years ago. An involvement in Hotel development morphed in to an interest in Interior Design before leading to Nicholas eventually establishing

his own Interior Design Practise, NH Interiors.

The lamps are also designed to be well

proportioned and robust which is essential in a

hotel environment

MALLORY COURT HOTEL, WARWICKSHIRE



NICHOLAS HOLLINSHEADPENNYHILL PARK HOTEL, SURREY

Products you have worked on such as such as the Brockencote Hall Hotel, Worcestershire, the Mallory Court Hotel, Warwickshire and the Pennyhill Park Hotel, Surrey have featured a number of products from Heathfield & Co. What is it about these particular products that you think complement the hotel’s interiors so well?

We are often attracted to the vivid colours available from the Heathfield range which complement our house style and is evident in the majority of our schemes, but the lamps are also designed to be well proportioned and robust which is essential in a hotel environment.

Your website mentions that you have recently incorporated a contemporary element into what was recognised as being a traditional and classical style of design. How do you see that balance between traditional and contemporary continuing to evolve in the future?

We have never been minimalists and I truly believe that even the most contemporary of guests soon

tire of a monochrome palette with uncomfortable and impractical furnishings. Guests like a little luxury, a lot of comfort and a soupcon of nostalgia, we aim to provide all of this in our designs so will always take an eclectic approach to our selection of furniture and fabrics combining antiques with chic modern pieces and statement fabrics with simple linens and silks.

What is your personal favourite Heathfield & Co product(s) to date and why so?

Generally speaking I like the glass lamps but as the range continues to develop it becomes more beguiling.

The Basillica and Medina pendants in the latest collection are quite fabulous and I am anxious to incorporate them into a scheme in the near future.

Is there any well known or public space that you would love to be able to redesign?

I would love to do something,

anything, in Claridges. It is my favourite hotel and much of my inspiration for The Forbury Hotel in Reading came from its wonderful Art Deco interiors, so even to do a bedroom there would be a great compliment to my career.

Other than that it would be the Grand Hotel Du Cap Ferrat in the South of France which is just magnificent.

What interior trends do you think have, or will emerge as being particularly significant for this year?

Colour and pattern are certainly resurfacing and wallpaper appears to be making a comeback, there seems to be a much bolder approach by all the design houses which is certainly something we applaud.

The sold-out six day exhibition, which ran from the 8th – 13th April, saw an incredible 357, 212 visitors from 160 countries pass through the doors of the Rho Milan Fairgrounds to see some incredibly high quality exhibits. The international presence was also felt from the exhibitors themselves, with just under thirty percent of those exhibiting coming from outside Italy.

This year’s event saw the launch of the Welcome Project, created in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan and its Department of Fashion and Design. This saw over 100 students from Milan’s design schools greeting visitors at key point throughout the city. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi also attended the exhibition, along with other key members of government, acknowledging the key role that the furnishings sector plays in the Italian economy.

“The Salone del Mobile is a valuable resource for the Italian home furnishing sector” Cosmit President Claudio Luti said “because of its ability to attract operators, visitors, designers, buyers and journalists from all over the world, who flock here to see cutting edge innovation and high-end products, and because of the exhibiting manufacturers, who combine innovation with excellence, as well as being a prestigious cultural event.”

As well as the huge array of furnishings on display, this year’s fair also saw the ‘Where Architects Live’ exhibition. This major element of the Milan Fair took a look into the homes of eight of the world’s most infamous and influential architects (Shigeru Ban,Mario Bellini, David Chipperfield, Massimiliano and Doriana

Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Marcio Kogan, Daniel Libeskind and Studio Mumbai/Bijoy Jain) via an incredible 1,600 m2 multimedia installation. Claudio Luti, president of the Salone del Mobile, commented on the ‘Where Architects live’ exhibition, “One of the remits of the Salone del Mobile is to build culture, sparking experiences and suggestions that become benchmarks for the home furnishings sector, which lies at the very heart of the Salone del Mobile. ‘Where Architects Live’ is an exhibition that also serves to valorise our manufacturers – they too innovate and build culture through production, thanks to a bled of unique and characteristic factors such as the ability to excel in manufacturing combined with the ability to convert the creative ideas of international into objects and projects that become benchmarks for home furnishings all over the world.”

Claudio Luti, further commented on the success of the fair in general “Our goal was to make this the best Salone del Mobile in the world and the results have far exceeded our expectations. Buyers, journalists and designers have seen at first hand just how superlative and creative our production chain is, recognising the value of Made in Italy manufacturing and the global importance of the Salone”.

Several key themes were prevalent at the exhibited designs at this year’s fair. These included an emphasis on the actual materials utilised within the designs, often being metallic, the workmanship involved and a leaning towards minimalistic design. Several exhibited pieces also revolved around a fairytale-inspired, or dream-like theme.

Now in its fifty-third edition, this year’s Milan furniture fair (‘Salone del Mobile’) once again lived up to its reputation as being one of the world’s largest

HEATHFIELD & CO | WESTBROOK HOUSE, ASCOT



WESTBROOK HOUSE, ASCOT

Situated near the famous horse racing track, Westbrook House, Ascot is a Millgate Homes development comprised of fourteen luxurious two and three

bedroom apartments and penthouses.


The apartments have been designed to the highest specifications and feature a range of table, desk and ceiling lighting from Heathfield & Co.

Interior designers, Alexander James were in charge of the design of the development and commented on using Heathfield & Co lighting for the project

“Just a stone’s throw from the famous racecourse, Westbrook House in Ascot is a beautiful development on the site of the former residence of Rita Hayworth.

“With this in mind, we created a glamorous scheme and featured our own collection of Art Deco inspired furniture pieces.

“We chose to use a number of Heathfield & Co lighting fixtures in our scheme; the large lamps in the master bedroom help to bring the room to life. We’re really impressed with the quality of their lamps, and with gold being back on trend, we were looking for some stunning,

statement pieces that would complement the rooms in this spectacular development”.

Alexander James Interior Design has worked on a range of other design projects that have sourced lighting from Heathfield & Co including Brockenhurst House, also in Ascot and Burford House.
