Founded in 2004, Riverdale Developments create award-winning homes, throughout South London, Sussex and Kent, which are thoughtfully designed to create safe, friendly environments that promote a sense of community and quality of life.
Minoli have supplied Riverdale with Italian porcelain and ceramic tiles for nearly 20 years in a long-lasting partnership that has flourished between these two like-minded family-run firms. Both companies take great pride in the quality of their products and the professionalism of their teams, and these shared values have become the bedrock for their mutual ways of working.
From the WhatHouse? and Surrey Property Awards to NHBC Pride In Job accolades, industry bodies and, most importantly, home owners recognise Riverdale as delivering the highest standards in the design and build of their properties, worthy of their 5-Star Home Builders Federation rating for customer satisfaction.
One of their most recent developments featuring selected ranges from the Minoli portfolio is Royal Oaks in Banstead, Surrey. Nestled in a serene and picturesque location, this gated community of just ten exclusive 3, 4 and 5-bedroom homes all benefit from the highest quality standards, from luxurious interior specifications to exterior materials that complement the local environment. They are also built with sustainability front of mind and to achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency.
The attention to detail in the design and signature Riverdale finish is exemplified in the family bathrooms, ensuites and cloakrooms, which all feature Minoli porcelain tiles.
In the recently launched show home, the master ensuite is a graceful and grown-up space, clad with Minoli Energy Stone porcelain tiles in the Pietragrey Taupe colourway. Expertly installed, with crisp rectified edges, their meticulously Matt surface presents a soft sheen, in an expansive 60/60 format to the floor and 30/60 size on the walls. Fitted to full height in the shower enclosure, with an alcove shelf and recessed lighting, the tiles are contrasted with bright chrome fixtures and modern, white Roca sanitary ware.
In the beautifully appointed guest ensuite, Minoli Storm Cream brings a contemporary style, again in 60/60 and 30/60 sizes to the floor and walls. Whether principally for visitor comfort or for daily use, the Riverdale specification ensures the same level of quality throughout these delightfully designed properties.
No less creativity has been applied to the family bathroom which showcases the magnificent marble-effect of Energy Stone Calacatta, with ribbon-like pale grey veining across a super-soft pure white base. The silvery shades within are picked out by the brilliant chrome towel rail and taps, creating an effortlessly airy environment.
Lastly, it may be the smallest room, but the downstairs cloakroom is certainly big on style. The realistically retro, metro tile format of Luminous Lume creates a statement with the effect of oxidised edges and a hand-crafted appearance. Shown here in the Black colourway, the high-gloss finish still brings a certain sparkle to the décor and the clever inclusion of a large mirror amplifies the dimensions of this pristine ‘powder room’.
Our thanks go to all the team at Riverdale Developments for specifying tiles from Minoli’s extensive collections, and you can see more of their perfectly presented properties on their website www.riverdale-developments.co.uk, or on Instagram @riverdaledevelopments.
