Mission:
Creating
Bathroom Culture
Influenced by the culture that gave birth to the
sociable, luxurious Turkish hammam, VitrA elevates
daily cleansing to make it a welcome ritual.
In essence, VitrA creates contemporary hammams
by applying superior aesthetic concepts and
sophisticated technology to every touchpoint in the
bathroom - while drawing inspiration from the art
and craftsmanship of Anatolian traditions in ceramic
art. Thus, our relationship with water is constantly
refined and redefined, as it was centuries ago with
the introduction of the hammam, to create new
Bathroom Culture.
Practical, comfortable and high-design, a VitrA
bathroom is a complete, contemporary living space.
It's as inviting - though more private - as a living
room or kitchen. In it we can restore balance to our
lives through rest, recreation, indulgence in personal
care and countless other revitalising activities.
As a result, the often overlooked space of the
bathroom becomes a core chamber that improves
not only our homes and our businesses, but also the
flow of our daily lives.

and vivid, lifestyle driven design characteristic of W,
the W Doha will offer guests multiple signature
restaurants and lounges, the Bliss Spa, Sweat fitness

Apart from the vibrant energy and dramatic design,
another theme that runs common to all W hotels is
technology. A hugely popular hotel with the young
and the aspirational, technology is integrated into the
very spirit of W. From electronic check-in, iPod docking
stations, IP telephones and interactive television in
rooms to complete WiFi access and a meeting room
with every conceivable facility, W takes technology

Being the first W in the Middle East, the W Doha will
set the precedent for more W Hotels soon to be
opened in Dubai and possibly other cities in the region.
Nick Fillipou of Multiplex: “We chose VitrA given the wide variety of contemporary products available, that are also of a high
quality and competitive price. VitrA provided the ideal solution for the W Doha Hotel, where we were searching for an elegant
and modern style of sanitaryware product, befitting the boutique nature of the hotel, but also a product that could stand the
test of time in a commercial application such as a hotel environment.”

Contractor: Urban Splash
Architect: David Shanks, Shedkem
Langworthy Park (Chimney Pot Park) represents a case
study for the re-use of existing Victorian red brick
terraces into modern housing to meet the changing
needs of younger first time purchasers.
The terraced houses in the Seedley and Langworthy
area were built around 1910, laid out in a regular
terraced grid and adjoining a neighbourhood park to
the south. Elevated above street level, Langworthy
Park was built on the infill site of a former reservoir,
and affords views over the rooftops of the adjacent
properties - for this reason, it has been known locally
as ‘Chimney Pot Park’.
Urban Splash's scheme consciously draws on the
character of the neighbourhood, appropriating this
name for its development. Their intervention is a small
part of the wider Seedley and Langworthy area, roughly
a five by two block parcel of the terraced housing grid.
David Shanks: “Fittings were chosen which extended this approach, the simple clean lines of the Matrix wall hung sanitaryware

Coming in a varied mixture of sizes and types, the
apartments are based on a factory produced
pre-fabricated residential unit which, through a series
of additional clip on components, give compact, high
quality accommodation for sale in the private sector.
Moho develops the application of pre-fabrication
already successfully used in mixed tenure housing,
and transfers it to the private sector.
Though the spaces are compact, the addition of prefab
balconies create areas for residents to have parties,
grow small gardens, and meet up with their neighbors
for after-work drinks. Customized furniture was built
in to make good use of the space and to save money.
The bathrooms were finished in the same Fermacel

Manuel Zeitlin Architects: “The primary reason for our choice of VitrA was the Dual Flush. It is a green product, and people like
to participate in helping the environment. The refined aesthetics and the range and consistency of the VitrA product line helped
our decision. And the availability was another important factor.”
Hastings Architecture Associates, LLC: Michelle M. Oakley “I wanted to keep the project green throughout, and I was very impressed
with the green aspects of the Dual Flush Toilet. Also, the design of the products made them just a perfect match for the look we
were trying to convey. Last but not least, VitrA enabled me to specify products to earn Leed water-efficiency points.”

Serving 30 million passengers a year, Terminal 5
Heathrow is the busiest of all BAA’s terminals. Terminal
5 is intended to reinforce Heathrow's position as Europe's
principal intercontinental hub.
The client, British Airports Authority (BAA) and the
major tenant, British Airways, required a new terminal
building and satellite on a site covering some 250
hectares - a complex capable of handling up to 36 million
passengers a year.
With over 50 WC facilities throughout the terminal, all
needing to meet strict design, accessibility and durability
criteria, a new approach to the washroom specification
was required. T5's accessibility strategy demanded that
all washroom facilities should not only meet but surpass
the current Part M Regulations and Design Disabilities
Act. Unfortunately there was no product in the market
place that met the requirements. Not willing to accept
the usual approach adopted of 'tacking on' an unsightly
and unhygienic back box to the rear of a standard WC
pan in order to meet the 750 mm projection, BAA Design
approached VitrA U.K. Ltd.
“VitrA, already on board looking at other bespoke sanitaryware pieces for T5, took on the challenge of creating such a large,
one piece molded product. The resulting product is clean lined with minimal contours and fixings, an essential part of BAA’s
brief where ease of cleaning and maintenance is paramount in a 24/7 environment.”

The Danish Radio and Television Building DR Byen is

through a series of international competitions. Vilhelm
Lauritzen AS, which won the Master Plan competition,
made the design for Section 1. Dissing+Weitling’s
design was chosen for Section 2, Gottlieb & Paludan's
and Nobel’s design for Section 3, and the Jean Nouvel
architectural firm's design for Section 4 (concert hall).
The DR Byen master plan was inspired by the “casbah”
concept of Middle Eastern cities. In this “casbah” where
the four buildings designed by four different architects
are situated, the buildings are linked by an inner street
that is also designed to be the meeting place for
DR Byen. Rising from the second to the sixth floor,
the inner street creates a glass roofed communal area.
This transparency allows for light, open and inviting
