San Stae was invited to curate the interior furnishings and artworks for a recently renovated loft apartment nestled within a former press and dye casting works in central Birmingham. 

Overlooking the luscious garden terrace we designed earlier this Spring (Henrietta Garden Terrace), the open plan reception spaces are a convergence of industrial and mid century themes epitomising comfort and taste.

In the bedrooms, empty alcoves were replaced with full-height bespoke wardrobes. Sultry blue tones were blended together in the principal bedroom while the guest suite was freshly painted in a pale neutral hue to perform as a serene multi-functional space for work and play.
