103 Colmore Row is a 26-storey landmark development in the heart of Birmingham city centre, home to a range of prestigious businesses with new occupiers still moving in. For the 2024 festive season, the client commissioned phs Greenleaf to create a spectacular Christmas display for the building’s lobby — a “Christmas Wonderland” designed to impress both visitors and staff.
The phs Greenleaf design team was granted full creative control, enabling them to curate a visually stunning experience under the Emerald Eve theme. This elegant concept combined rich greens with glittering golds to complement the building’s interiors and gold planters. The objective was clear: to craft a warm, welcoming, and luxurious festive atmosphere that would elevate the space far beyond a standard seasonal installation.

To achieve this, phs Greenleaf conducted a detailed site visit, assessing every area of the lobby to determine the optimal tree sizes, garland placement, and decoration styling. The resulting design featured a striking combination of festive elements, including a 15ft replica tree, a 10ft replica tree, two 7ft replica trees, six illuminated garlands, a tabletop tree, and five seasonal desk floral displays. Each feature was strategically positioned to maximise visual impact — ensuring the lobby looked just as captivating from the outside through its expansive glass frontage as it did within.
phs Greenleaf installation showcased the client’s brand colours while delivering a visually immersive and cohesive festive experience. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with tenants and visitors praising the transformation of the lobby into a dazzling seasonal focal point that captured the true spirit of Christmas.
This award-winning project illustrates how phs Greenleaf’s blend of thoughtful planning, creative freedom, and technical expertise can turn sophisticated corporate environments into spaces filled with warmth and festive cheer. The Emerald Eve Christmas Wonderland at 103 Colmore Row stands as a testament to phs Greenleaf’s ability to merge design excellence with client vision — creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression.
