Crowned the ‘Best Place to Live’ by the Sunday Times in 2018, the vibrant and culture-rich city of York is renowned for its highly aspirational and ever-evolving architectural scene.
A UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts, it is boldly embracing the future while proudly displaying its past, with all new developments sensitively and sustainably designed to honour their historic surroundings.
Hudson Quarter is a prime example of this emerging ethos, reflecting contemporary design concepts while adhering to the strict planning regulations that govern its enviable position next to the medieval York City Walls.
Fuse Studios led on the architectural and interior design elements of the high-end project, selecting tiles from Solus’ extensive offering to complement the stylish aesthetics featured throughout the 127 apartments, located across three residential buildings.
With views of the beautifully landscaped courtyard, the accommodation, ranging from one-bedroom studios to vast penthouses, has been expertly designed to appeal to a broad selection of residents.
A gentle reminder of York’s industrial past, Solus’ concreteeffect Forum tiles from the Concourse range offer a rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic in the lobbies. The large format tiles in soft mottled grey create a welcoming yet edgy ambiance, inviting potential purchasers to explore further. The tiles are also present in the lift carts as well as the employee tea points and WCs.

Gently illuminated corridors lead to the exquisitely appointed apartments, all of which have been decorated in chic neutral shades, creating an ambiance which actively encourages residents to relax and unwind after a hard day.
In the bathrooms and en-suites, pearly Etterby tiles, sourced from Solus’ Arcadian collection, compose distinctive statement walls, their glossy undulating surface culminating in an invigorating composition.
The floors and remaining walls, along with the interior of the shower cubicles, are bedecked with large scale Lorem tiles in creamy tones, their presence serving to enhance Etterby’s herringbone pattern and produce an aesthetic which is at once contemporary yet classic.
Associate at Fuse Studios Steve Bell said: “High-quality developments such as Hudson Quarter are at a premium in York, which has increasingly become a sought-after residential location. The aim of this project was to offer chic living spaces that bridge the generations, with everything from studio apartments to penthouse suites available.
“We needed to source fixtures, fittings, and décor to meet the high spec that can be seen across the complex and, having worked with Solus on several projects, we were confident that the team could recommend the perfect tiles to create the stylish and on-trend atmosphere we wanted to achieve.
“First impressions count, and Solus’ statement tiles in the reception leave visitors in no doubt of the exceptional quality that is featured throughout the accommodation.
“Likewise, the Arcadian and Concourse ranges applied in the bathrooms and en-suites add an extra touch of class, complementing the wider interior of the apartments.”
