Build to Rent is booming — and design is leading the charge!
With renters expecting more than just four walls, developers are turning to designers who understand how to create community-driven, commercially smart spaces. That’s where Rachel Withey, Founding Partner at Ekho Studio, comes in.

In Design Insider`s exclusive interview, Rachel dives into why BTR is one of the most exciting growth markets in interiors:

✨ The power of amenities — from co-working lounges to rooftop cinemas
✨ How thoughtful design helps tenants stay longer and live better
✨ What designers really need from suppliers to make BTR spaces work

With seven design awards and a growing portfolio of BTR, co-living, and PBSA projects, Ekho Studio is helping shape a new rental future — one that`s flexible, social, and here to stay.

Furniture Fusion has teamed up with Regal London to create made-to-measure pieces for some of the capital’s most stylish residential and commercial developments — and the results are seriously impressive.

✨ At The Haydon in Aldgate, luxe outdoor sofas in classic white and slate-grey tables transform the terrace into a calm, elegant retreat — right in the heart of the City.

✨ Over at Clarendon Works, curved lobby chairs with brass plinths make a bold first impression, while the rooftop terrace is decked out with a 3-metre-long high table, sky-blue Nolita stools, and laid-back outdoor seating.

✨ Meanwhile, The Clarendon rises 25 storeys above Watford, with a statement lobby featuring bespoke sofas and lounge chairs — plus a panoramic sky garden complete with custom outdoor furniture designed for relaxing in style.

From rooftop hangouts to lobby moments, these spaces prove that great design doesn’t stop at the door.
