With community at its core, the art collection was curated to invite both reflection and engagement, enriching the shared spaces for those who live there. Working closely with Johnson Naylor, we selected works that complement the warm, contemporary interiors while adding depth, character, and points of connection. The selection ranges from abstract works that balance presence and subtlety, to striking large scale statement pieces. Playful paintings that bring energy and movement, to embroidered textile works that encourage moments of focus and pause. Together, the collection contributes to an environment that feels layered, human, and deeply connected to the rhythms of contemporary life.

Highlights

  • A 3-metre-wide original painting by emerging artist Ana Monsó anchors the Art Lounge. Based between London and Barcelona, her practice is shaped by memory, emotion, and spontaneity. Her fluid, intuitive compositions, defined by loose, gestural marks offer a compelling contrast to the rich tones of the surrounding interior.
  • Two expressive paintings by Bethany Holmes create a warm and inviting arrival, setting the tone for the spaces beyond through their atmospheric presence.
  • London-based artist Sharon Drew brings a sense of playfulness to the Garden Lounge, where hints of nature intertwine with lively brushstrokes and organic forms.
  • Four embroidered works by Demi Overton introduce a sense of focus and quiet concentration within the phone booths, offering intimate moments of stillness within the wider environment.
