underpinned the site’s historic significance.
With a variety of activity zones, Forbo Flooring
Systems’ Tessera Cloudscape carpet tiles and
Sarlon acoustic sheet vinyl were specified,
helping to create a fully integrated and striking
space that meets the demands of modern
student living. The Refinery was a winning
project in the Fly Forbo 2020/21 competition.
Built on a former industrial site near Leeds

pattern, in line with the theme.”
Jasper continued: “In the apartments and studios,
we aimed to keep the interior design as neutral as
possible. These are the areas where students will be
making into a ‘home’, so they will bring their own
décor. For this reason, the Natural Oak colourway
from the Sarlon 19 dB collection was perfect for the
bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms. The beautiful
timber e ect is super neutral but also looks very
elegant; it creates a very warm and homely feel.”
