Say hello to Apricot Mousse – the new marble finish from Versital!

Inspired by Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year – Mocha Mousse, this handcrafted cultured marble brings all the warm, earthy vibes we’re craving right now. Think soft nude-brown veins with a delicate apricot glow – rich, grounding, and totally on-trend.

Apricot Mousse is not just a pretty face – it`s stain-proof, waterproof, and made to handle the hustle of high-traffic hospitality spaces.

“We wanted to capture the essence of Mocha Mousse and give it a fresh, contemporary twist,” says Gemma Stockberger, Marketing Director at Versital. Mission accomplished!

‘The Place’ really is... well, the place to be!

We’re talking about Nottingham’s newest purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) – a stunning, design-led development by MRP, with interiors by the talented team at Ekho Studio and architecture by Consarc.

From the moment you walk in, this 409-unit scheme brings serious members’ club energy, with a grown-up vibe that’s all about comfort, community, and clever design.

Located right next to the railway station, this 11-storey beauty doesn’t just look good – it’s built with purpose, sustainability (hello, BREEAM ‘Excellent’), and the city’s student living needs in mind.

Ekho Studio’s interiors are packed with personality:
- Regal colours inspired by a royal visit (yes, really!)
- Subtle nods to Nottingham’s lace-making legacy
- Luxe details channelled from nearby Belvoir Castle
- All tied together with smart space planning, soft curves, perforated screens and tactile materials

Oh – and did we mention the 360° rooftop terrace and sky lounge with panoramic views? Total wow-factor.

This is student living reimagined. Stylish, functional, and full of story.
