Furnitubes supplied two sets of products from their seating range for Host Student Apartments near University of Birmingham.

The development has a modest street frontage, bounded to both sides by commercial buildings on the busy Bristol Road, but the entrance opens up to two expansive internal courtyards and gardens within the site.

These attractive outdoor areas comprise planted boundaries and small mown lawns, with permeable hard paving linking the buildings.

Furnitubes supplied two sets of products to the scheme – the heavy-duty Fordham seating and tables adjacent to the built-in barbeque for outdoor dining purposes, and Lapa wall-top seating – all designed to encourage students to make maximum use of the outdoor spaces.
