The Scott at Brush Park

An Oasis for Urban Living

At the heart of downtown Detroit’s residential renaissance, one building has found the sweet spot. The Scott is a modern, mixed-use development with high-end amenities among the restored gems of historic Brush Park. To carry out their unique concept for the interiors, the architects at Neumann/Smith partnered with NBS to furnish the building’s common areas.

The strategy is compelling: tenants want to connect, to have opportunities to engage one another, to feel a sense of community. Creating communal spaces that enable this is one of the remarkable features of The Scott. The building includes numerous places, such as the lobby/art gallery, a library, an expansive lounge, plus an adjacent sundeck and swimming pool, that allow residents to gather, to hang out and to socialize. The overall look is sleek and contemporary with rich colors and natural finishes to create a stylish yet relaxed feel.

Working from Neumann/Smith’s plan, the NBS team selected a range of furnishings to create an upscale, residential aesthetic in all those shared spaces. From a practical standpoint the furnishings had to meet specific budget, comfort and performance requirements. To help in the evaluation of certain selections the NBS showroom became a furniture proving ground where the client could examine and try out a number of choices before making final decisions. NBS then ordered, coordinated and installed all the interior and exterior furniture. Working closely with both Neumann/Smith and the furniture manufacturers, we were able to ensure that budget and delivery schedules were met.

The Scott at Brush Park epitomizes the best of urban living where the location, the city’s energy and the building all come together. NBS was pleased to partner with Neumann/Smith on this exciting hospitality project.
