FLOORING

Metro Lofts brings a selection of 47 one and two bedroom modern and sustainable living apartments to the market.

The interior style has been developed and nurtured by experienced design professionals with a keen eye into moving West Bromwich town centre living to an enhanced level with this unique / distinct product.

A passenger lift from ground floor level serves each core and all residential floors (except level 4).

n the living area a breakfast kitchen has been introduced to provide a focal point for activity within a large / tall open plan space (gallery apartments). These areas have functional downlighting while simultaneously up lighting the concrete soffit to create a comfortable warm atmosphere, giving the occupants the flexibility, they require.

Timber effect floor finish to all rooms except bedrooms and bathrooms. Bedrooms have fitted carpet; bathrooms to be fitted with luxury vinyl flooring.

The existing building has an attractive tactile industrial structure, with exposed soffits and beams throughout its interior.

For the majority of the apartments the design exposes the building’s structural concrete elements at high level and inserts custom-made modern living spaces into the open-plan apartment arrangements.
