Acrux and Hexil mosaic tiles are being used throughout the bathrooms and en suites of homes at Royal Exchange, Kingston. Across five main residential buildings, the development provides 320 apartments and homes in Kingston Upon Thames.

Inspired by the architecture of the Grade II listed Old Post Office and Telephone Exchange buildings within the development, the design team at St George selected Hexil mosaics and developed a bespoke tile to create a link to the heritage of the site in new buildings. The stylish cross motif with a handmade feel is now part of the Parkside collection as Acrux, made with 39% recycled content.

  • "Jane Bartlett, St George “We wanted to make sure that the bathrooms and en suites referenced the original finishes of the Telephone Exchange building at the heart of Royal Exchange. Struggling to find what we needed in a standard range, we developed a bespoke tile with Parkside, creating a bold motif and a hand-crafted quality that references heritage. We’re thrilled with the final look – it has just the right nod to heritage, while still maintaining the smart and contemporary feel wanted by our purchasers.”
