Project OVERVIEW

More Than a Hotel Room and a Key Card

Kingsland Locke is a 124-room aparthotel in Dalston, arranged over five storeys with a part-basement, and designed around a more lifestyle-led hospitality model. Alongside the suites, studios, and one-bedroom apartments, the ground floor also includes 100m² of A3 shell space for co-working, a coffee shop, and a microbrewery.

On a project like this, the paintwork had to do more than finish walls. It had to help the whole place feel sharp, design-led, and ready for guests.

OUR APPROACH

Boutique Means the Walls Cannot Be Boring

Dalston does not really reward safe and forgettable. On a scheme with aparthotel rooms, co-working space, a coffee shop, and a microbrewery, the finish had to feel like it belonged in a place people would actually want to stay, work, and hang around in.

Guest Rooms That Looked the Part
The painting package helped give the rooms and apartments a clean, controlled finish that matched the boutique feel of the development.
The Shared Spaces Had to Carry It Too
Co-working areas, hospitality space, and circulation zones all needed a finish that felt consistent with the guest rooms, not like the budget ran out when you left the lift.
Design-Led, Not Decorator-Led
On projects like this, the paintwork should support the atmosphere, not fight for attention. The aim was to keep it sharp, balanced, and right for the brand.

Across the building, the goal stayed simple: make the finish feel like part of the experience, not the background to it.

RESULT

A Dalston Stay That Looked Ready

At Kingsland Locke, our painting package helped prepare 124 rooms and suites within a boutique aparthotel designed around work, stay, and social space. In a building with this much personality, the finish had to keep up. It did.
