Architectural Plaster Finish
The Hoxton
Project Overview
The Hoxton's Holborn property called for a bespoke architectural plaster finish that would sit comfortably within a contemporary hospitality interior while introducing warmth and texture against exposed structural and copper detailing.
Choice Finishes developed an aged off-white plaster finish, applied with subtle tonal variation to avoid a flat, uniform surface, and specifically balanced in tone against the copper leaf elements specified elsewhere in the space.
The finish delivers understated texture and gentle tonal movement across the treated walls — a considered counterpoint to the sharper, more reflective materials used throughout the rest of the interior.
Scope of Works
- Substrate preparation and application of a bespoke architectural plaster base system
- Hand-application of an aged off-white finish with controlled tonal variation
- Coordination with the copper leaf installation team to balance material tones
- Sealing suited to a high-traffic hospitality environment
Materials & Finishes
- Bespoke architectural plaster finish system
- Aged off-white tonal treatment
- Protective sealer for commercial hospitality use
Challenges & Approach
Matching the plaster's tone to complement, rather than compete with, the copper leaf detailing required close coordination between trades and several rounds of sample review under the space's actual lighting.
We produced multiple sample panels at full scale on-site, refining the finish until the plaster and copper elements read as a single considered material palette rather than two separate specifications.
