Center Parcs UK is a leading hospitality business specialising in luxury, nature inspired short term breaks, based across vast picturesque sites with stunning lodges and a plethora of outdoor activities. Each year they welcome over 2.3 million guests across all five of their UK based sites.
Cubby Construction enlisted Concept to supply and refurbish both the customer washroom and staff changing room facilities inside the Bella Italia restaurant at Centre Parcs’ Whinfell Forest, situated out of the idyllic Lake District, Cumbria.
With this project, the challenge for us was to make sure the refurb aligned with the Centre Parcs’ look and feel. However, from a functionality point of view, the facilities had to be robust and durable in order to withstand the mass influx of day-to-day users.
With Centre Parcs welcoming a revolving door of guests and staff each year, we suggested our Force Privacy Cubicle System for the washrooms. The Force Privacy Cubicle is a floor to ceiling solution for uninterrupted privacy while at the same time being designed to withstand the most challenging environments. Fabricated from Compact Grade Laminate (CGL) with face-fixed powder coated nickel ironmongery, these cubicles are water-resistant, anti-vandal, and easy to maintain – making them perfectly suited to serving Centre Parcs’ staff for seasons to come.
For Whinfell Forest’s staff changing room, we supplied dry area lockers manufactured from a solid steal body with CGL doors. And then similarly, the changing benches we provided were made from powder-coated mild steel frames with incredibly resilient CGL seats, back rest, and hook board.
Aesthetically, the staff washroom’s cubicle doors, duct panels, vanity access panels, and grooming tops were all finished in the appropriately woodland inspired 0048 Oak by Fundermax, while 0733 White was selected for the cubicle partitions, vanity tops, and duct and vanity shadow panels. Together, this new washroom scheme brings a touch of the outdoors, inside.
On completion of this project, the holiday site’s staff washrooms and changing rooms have undergone a nature inspired refresh with a sturdy and durable edge, meaning they’ll be able to handle even the busiest of days on the park.
