Designed for Quality
While secrecy surrounds the actual costs of One Hyde Park’s luxury apartments, it’s believed they start at £6.5 million for a one-bedroom flat and £140 million for one of the four penthouses. One Hyde Park is the brainchild of design and development firm Candy & Candy, and this iconic building had the most exacting standards. Bespoke floor boxes were designed to fit precisely into the thickness of a single hand crafted oak board. The tops were supplied in a trimless stainless steel finish, with the top edges, outlet flaps and all visible parts mirror polished. Even the outlet plates inside the boxes were supplied in stainless steel.
The flaps had to be perfect, with any casting imperfections removed. Prior to installation they were inspected for flaws using a magnifying glass. Although some floor boxes were used in the lounge, the majority were used in the bedrooms to provide facility for free standing lamps.
