Leading tile and bathroom manufacturer RAK Ceramics, which has become the go-to partner for both large and small-scale projects, has helped Yellow Door Property realise its vision for Retreat Garden, a new and exclusive development in Suffolk.
Uniquely located within the walled kitchen gardens of Lakenheath Hall, Retreat Gardens is an ambitious new-build project that takes luxury, sustainable living to new heights. Created in collaboration with London practice, Works Architecture, it consists of two architecturally stunning properties that feature a naturally beautiful, modern aesthetic.
Specialist development company Yellow Door Property selected RAK Ceramics to supply the tiles as well as all the bathroom solutions for the properties following a visit to the inspirational 7,276 sq ft RAK Ceramics Design Hub in Clerkenwell.
Paul Ashley, Owner of Yellow Door Property, said: “I’d heard great things about RAK Ceramics but even so, I was blown away by the London Design Hub. RAK Ceramics’ design team were very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful as was their specification department. The CGIs they created really helped us visualise the project.”
RAK Ceramics’ full service offering and comprehensive portfolio enabled Yellow Door Property to create beautifully cohesive designs that flowed throughout the two homes. This included freestanding RAK-Valet baths, which star in the spacious master bedroom en suites, illuminated mirrors and recessed shower niches. Vanity units, rimless wall-hung pans, basins, mixers and shower valves also feature. All the products were chosen for their quality, durability and ability to create luxurious, spa-like sanctuaries.
Also used in the bathrooms and throughout the interiors were RAK Ceramics’ Surface 2.0 concrete-effect porcelain floor tiles in Off White Matt and Cool Grey Matt. They cover around 1500sq ft of each property, which is approximately half the internal floor area. Surface 2.0 Grey Matt Outdoor tiles also feature externally, providing a visual link between the indoor and outdoor spaces. 
Paul Ashley continued: “Over the years, strategic partnerships have been key to Yellow Door Property’s development, and they’ve certainly helped us realise our vision for Retreat Gardens. I have nothing but praise for RAK Ceramics’ team and products.”
