Immediately to the left of the amenity space entrance is a glazed , bookable meeting room for the use of either residents or staff , whilst a generously-proportioned back of house and staff welfare area also serves as a work hub for Grainger ’ s Resident Services team . The meeting room features a pale timber circular table , overhead hanging planting and six Co Chair chairs by Menu in alternating shades of Duckegg and Bluebell in a cord finish and featuring natural oak armrests . The room ’ s textured blue ‘ Hopscotch ’ wallpaper is by Tektura Wallcoverings and was chosen for its subtle link to the lines of The Headline ’ s identity design , whilst the Shaw Contract carpet in Mirror Grey from the Simply by Nature collection features a similarly ridged-texture finish . Wall lights are In the Sun from DCW Editions .
For those who wish to use the wider amenity space , a central corridor guides residents through the zoned spaces , which include two generously-apportioned social and co-working areas . The first of these , just inside the front of the building on the right , features a six-person co-working table , whilst further seating – brass-framed Agora high stools by Missana with velvet upholstery and a bespoke back cushion – is arranged by the right-side high window together with a marble-effect work surface . A credenza in this section – the Air Sideboard by Design House Stockholm – introduces a rattan weave treatment , used further for furniture and wall panels and two ceiling rafts to the right-side rear of the space .

ground floor features bespoke joinery and plays with height by having lower seating to one side . This seating design is a great example of the scheme ’ s strong play on geometry , with newspaper production rail-inspired curves to the joinery framework and added texture created by side panelling with a rattan weave finish . The booths are made up of powder-coated metal rails with a warm , gold-brass finish , whilst the bespoke tables incorporate hidden wireless chargers . The seating – with contrasting end material upholstery – is in luxurious soft blue velvet with a piped edge detail . Soft green curtains soften the look of the space and ensure a residential feel .
Furniture throughout , where not bespoke , was sourced by Workform , with the scheme ’ s planting created by Urban Planters . Flooring is a continuous porcelain tiling – in either a straight or diagonal pattern , depending on the area - with Amtico basketweave flooring used to denote co-working areas , with brass strip edging . Rugs by Ege in Dust Green from the Soft Dreams Lux range feature in the rear lounge area to create a softer note .
