Located on Scrubs Lane near Willesden Junction, Mitre Yard brings 241 Build to Rent homes and over 5,000 sq ft of commercial space to North West London. We were appointed to deliver the furniture package across all amenity areas, helping to shape a series of spaces that reinterpret the area’s industrial identity into a contemporary, characterful place to live.
Ridgeback’s in-house design team sought to reflect the local context, using metal finishes, exposed detailing and industrial materials to connect the building with its surroundings. The result is a collection of warm, tactile amenity spaces that balance authenticity with comfort and a strong sense of community.
Our scope included branded loose furniture alongside bespoke joinery and banquette seating. We worked closely with Ridgeback to refine details, coordinate around site constraints and ensure the design vision was delivered with consistency and precision.
Every bespoke element, from shelving to seating, was manufactured in the UK, supporting a cohesive material finish and alignment with the overall concept. Structural columns were carefully integrated into the layouts, allowing the furniture to sit seamlessly within the building’s architecture.
A key achievement was the delivery of a refined aesthetic that clearly expresses the building’s industrial narrative. The bespoke banquette seating became a defining feature of the scheme, demonstrating how considered detailing and close collaboration can enhance both function and atmosphere.
Furniture from Fredericia, HAY, Very Good & Proper and NORR11 complements the bespoke elements, creating cohesion through materiality, tone and texture. Working within the main contractor’s live programme, we ensured a smooth delivery and installation process.
The completed spaces capture the spirit of Willesden Junction. Bold, honest and authentic, they offer residents a distinctive and characterful setting to relax, work and socialise.
