One Foundry Way

Curating a Lived-In, Eclectic Finish for a Landmark in Midtown St. Louis

Located in the heart of St. Louis’ reimagined Foundry District, the development was designed to attract students, creatives, and young professionals drawn to the area’s walkability, food hall, and cultural energy.

The interior concept called for a “found object” aesthetic that was eclectic, layered, and vibrant. It needed to feel effortless yet intentional, with accessories and art that told a story and gave each floor a distinct personality.

Turning Direction into Atmosphere

FNL Finishes worked closely with Lawrence Groups Samantha Beiter, the project’s FF&E designer, to bring the vision to life. Samantha set the tone by sharing reference pieces and creative direction, and FNL Finishes took it from there, curating finishes and accessories that amplified the space’s intent.

From antique store finds to custom artwork and acoustic-backed pieces, FNL Finishes sourced and installed final-layer elements across eight of the building’s 14 floors, including shared spaces and small conference rooms. Each resident corridor of artwork carried its own color theme, adding both cohesion and character to the resident experience.

A Collaborative Process, Seamlessly Delivered

With limited time and many moving parts, the ability to trust a partner was essential. FNL Finishes took on the legwork of sourcing, coordinating, and placing each item, allowing the design team to stay focused while knowing every detail would be handled with care.

The Final Layer in a Bigger Story

At One Foundry Way, we helped complete the atmosphere:

• Sourced vintage and custom art pieces that matched the design vision

• Styled eight floors of artwork with distinct color stories

• Delivered on time and within budget

• Supported and amplified the designer’s creative direction

One Foundry Way now stands as a vibrant home for the next generation of St. Louis residents, and we’re proud to have helped bring the final layer to life alongside the very talented team at Lawrence Group.

This building is more than the sum of its parts. It’s the product of strong vision, thoughtful design, and seamless collaboration across architecture, development, design, and construction teams. We were honored to contribute our piece of the puzzle and to celebrate the spirit of reinvention and creativity that defines Midtown St. Louis.
