For the
Makers

Echoing the industrial character that defines Digbeth, Bloomery’s design blends robust materials, generous glazing, and modern craftsmanship to create a building that feels both authentic and forward-looking.

Inside, flexible floorplates and shared spaces encourage collaboration, while sustainable, all-electric systems and high-performance standards ensure a responsible approach to development.

Stepping into Bloomery, occupiers and visitors are welcomed by a striking double-height reception that embodies the building’s essence and ingenuity. Light, open, and welcoming, it sets the tone for the spaces beyond – a place where ideas and innovation take centre stage.

Thoughtfully designed seating offers a place to pause, connect, or collaborate, with access-controlled speed gates providing a streamlined and secure route to the upper floors. Combining style and function, this impressive entrance makes a bold impact from the moment you arrive.

Alongside Bloomery’s ground floor reception, a flexible street-level unit occupies a prominent position fronting Digbeth High Street, providing an inviting opportunity for a café, studio, retail, learning space or other uses.

Its generous frontage and adaptable layout allow you to create a distinctive presence, while cycle storage, refuse, and plant are discreetly positioned to the north and west of the building.

The central core enables high-density, flexible spaces that can be tailored to a variety of uses while keeping floorplates open-plan and efficient.

Bloomery’s flexible shell and core specification delivers a blank canvas, enabling your company to shape the space to your precise operational needs.

With essential services and infrastructure already in place, including the core mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, the building delivers both practicality and versatility, providing a foundation for fully customised creative and media spaces.

With uninterrupted natural light flowing on every elevation, each floor feels bright and uplifting, promoting both wellbeing and productivity. Lift capacity and WCs are designed to support a density of 1:10 sq m, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout the building.

The fifth floor features a spacious communal rooftop terrace with sweeping city skyline views, a natural breakout space for creative collaboration, informal meetings, study or hosting events.

A separate private terrace overlooking Phoenix Square provides a quieter, more focused setting, ideal for one-to-one conversations, or momentary resets.
