Abode, award-winning designer and distributor of market-leading kitchen taps & sinks, Pronteau hot water taps, bathroom taps & showering solutions joins forces with Cain International, McCourt, Vanke, Galliard Homes, The Estate Office Shoreditch, and C J O’Shea on London’s most exciting project, The Stage: a world-class mixed-use development project in Shoreditch. 

Designed by ground-breaking architects Perkins+Will, The Stage comprises over an acre of public space, with more than 400,000 square feet of living, office, retail, and leisure space, set within new and historic buildings crowned by the excavated 16th-century remains of Shakespeare’s Curtain Theatre in a heritage center. With 412 urban luxe apartments rising to 37 stories, buyers can choose from chic studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom duplex penthouses. 

Graeme Blythe, National Contract Sales Manager at Abode says, “Mixed-use developments are key to urban renewal as we cater for a new generation of eco-conscious homeowners. Perkins+Will is recognized as one of the world’s pre-eminent sustainable design firms and like Abode has a strong commitment to ESG. We are proud that our products were chosen after extensive consultation between Euro Cucina and O’Shea/Gailliard Homes to cement the brand relationship with the furniture and the integrated appliances by Miele and Siemens. We are dedicated to trends-mapping and are already a carbon neutral business, so we fully support trailblazing partnerships within both the construction industry and the KBB sector. Our attractive design, WRAS approval and the safety and performance that this ensures along with an affordable price tag in the context of the overall project meant we could deliver a great package to our clients as well as a superb end-user experience.” 

To complement the high specification of London’s finest residential project, Abode supplied both its designer Pronteau Prostyle 3 IN 1 hot water tap and bestselling Althia Single Lever tap in a contemporary Graphite finish. Both of these WRAS-approved taps reflected the eclectic industrial style of Shoreditch as an exciting creative quarter. The sleek monobloc Pronteau Prostyle ensures that end users can enjoy the convenience of domestic hot, cold and 98° instant steaming hot water, thanks to the Proboil.2X intelligent hot water boiler which can be fitted quickly and easily with best-in-class tool installation.  

The slimline Althia Single Lever has a minimalist design and can be operated with just one finger for ease of use, making it the ideal choice for a busy lifestyle. Elegant and simple, its clean contours make for clean lines in the blended kitchen living space and it is supplied with a five-year warranty. 

With elevated landscaped gardens and a new heritage center at the site of the recently discovered Curtain Theatre, The Stage is set to become a landmark cultural landmark for London.  The magnificent mixed-use development will present a combination of fascinating Shakespearean heritage, Shoreditch creativity and City glamour all in one place. The Stage is set to redefine prime property in the flourishing East London market and provide a whole new cultural landscape, comparable to Downtown Manhattan. 

Each property at The Stage will exude a five-star style. Residents will enter through a double-height reception foyer, with handpicked interiors by A-list design Nicola Fontanella, interior design visionary and founder of Argent Design. These set the scene for refined living whilst echoing the fashion-frenzied flavor of Shoreditch. Facilities will include a 24-hour concierge and access to a screening room, games lounge and 32nd floor terrace. Situated adjacent to the new Amazon headquarters, just minutes from the City of London, The Stage will occupy one of the capital’s most sought-after Zone 1 locations with Liverpool Street underground, overground and Crossrail station a few minutes’ walk away, making the West End accessible in under 10 minutes and taking travellers to Heathrow in just 40 minutes. 

Argent’s design vision for The Stage was self-evident: stripped-back surfaces of brick and concrete are juxtaposed with unique, tongue-in-cheek artwork commissioned by one of London’s foremost street artists; furniture is clean-cut, timeless in its simplicity, yet laced with immaculate detailing, reminiscent of traditional craftsmanship and humble expertise; statement pieces live up to their name in open-plan schemes. Argent Design have ensured that interior design and functionality take centre stage within these cutting-edge apartments, making Abode the natural choice for supplying the all-important kitchen taps.
