Why was an industrial materials palette selected for the interior of the building?
The name Tillermans refers to the historical tiller men who steered their canal boats along the Grand Union Canal. The interiors have been designed to reference this, with industrial black metal offset by warm wood. Our approach was to use industrial materials to reflect the heritage of the site but in a more contemporary way. We researched and replicated the tiling pattern from the floor of the original Sunblest bakery previously located on site, and added a contemporary twist with a modern colour palette.
