The brief
Dock House, a three-storey building in Bristol’s Welsh Back, was ripe for redevelopment. Paramount wanted to create a striking office space that was flexible enough for working, events and meetings. And, taking the ground floor as their new Bristol head office, Paramount had a vested interest in designing a modern and desirable workplace, which was in keeping with its historic location.
In terms of water products, Paramount wanted energy-efficient water heaters for washrooms which could reliably deliver hot water whenever required. With the building being used frequently but with a low intensity interspersed with short stints of high occupancy, it was important that the systems were as efficient as possible.
The solution
Zip was able to provide the perfect solution to Paramount’s washroom needs. A variety of models in Zip’s InLine range, which discreetly provides instantaneous hot water whenever needed, were installed at various points throughout the office.
Its innovative design heats water as it flows through, meaning there is no standing heat loss, just energy-efficient hot water. Plus, thanks to a range of capacities, Paramount were able to find specific models that catered to the different levels of use in its washroom spaces, making it a very tailored solution.
"We pride ourselves on making places where people want to be and that's certainly the case with our Bristol office. We wanted every detail to reflect our vision of creating a destination workplace. Zip Water provided world-class products and the best service, so we had no hesitation in specifying their products."
