Samantha Tong designed the interiors for the apartment lobbies at Finch House, a Grade II listed building in Salisbury, for senior living company Platinum Skies, who prides itself on building communities. Samantha created a scheme reminiscent of a stately home. A jaw-dropping chandelier cascades through the rooms, which are full of colour, comfortable furniture, renowned artwork, William Morris prints and a kitchenette to encourage residents to engage and form friendships over a coffee. "It was important to me that residents felt at home the moment they entered the building, before even getting to their apartment," she said.
