Walker Simpson Architects was doing its level best to ‘Be Prepared’ with its design for the Girlguiding Centre in Cheshire, a new residential building replacing a 30 year old lodge that was no longer fit for purpose. There are eight dorms with en-suite facilities, a large, open dining area and kitchen, activity hall and service area. Wanting the flooring to emulate the ‘forest setting’, the architect chose Forbo’s Sarlon Code Zero flooring in avocado in common spaces. ‘Fruit salad’ loop pile carpet tile in the bedrooms!
