The room as it stands

Daylight is the thing you’re booking.

Glazing runs along three walls, with skylights over the north-center, so the room is lit without the overheads on for most of the working day. The floors are the original maple. The brick is the original brick. Nothing has been dressed up to look old, because it isn’t.

Open maple floor running back to brick walls and tall multi-pane windows under a beamed ceiling. — Open floor, looking south-west towards the window walls.

Sunlight falling through a wall of tall windows onto the wood floor, with folding tables set out. — Folding tables set out against the west windows.

Window-pane shadows stretched across the maple floor in late afternoon light beside a timber post. — Late afternoon, where the two window walls meet.

The permanent lounge: two armchairs, four swivel chairs round a glass table, and open shelving under the window wall. — The permanent lounge — it stays set up.

The chalkboard wall: a large framed chalkboard set into the exposed brick, under the beamed ceiling, with the maple floor running up to it. — The chalkboard wall, set into the brick.

The full depth of the room with beamed ceiling, ductwork and painted timber posts on a regular grid. — Nine timber posts on a roughly fifteen-foot grid.

Panorama across the room from the window wall to the whiteboard and the entrance doors. — Left to right: the window wall, the whiteboard, and the way in.

Open the full-size plan.

45 is the ceiling for the room, in any configuration. Ask and we’ll walk you through which layout suits the session. A 30-person training and a 30-person reception want the floor arranged very differently.

Coming spring 2027: a second room and a staging area, bookable on their own or together with the Star View Room.

On power: the conference table has outlets coming up through the tabletop, and there are outlets on the posts throughout the room. The folding tables have none of their own, so for a laptop-heavy session we set tables beside the posts with a power strip along the top — never a cord across a walkway. If your session needs everyone plugged in all day, say so when you enquire and we’ll tell you how to set it.

Why it’s called that

The Star sits in the south windows.

After dark the Mill Mountain Star comes up on the hillside directly in line with the south glass, over the brick parapet of the building across the yard, the one still carrying the Continental Can ghost sign. You can see both from inside the room without moving.

It is the best thing about a 5pm booking in November, and it is the reason the room has the name it has.
