Aberystwyth Student Accommodation

The masterplan creates a very high quality environment with a unique character rooted in the agricultural heritage of the site. The layout encourages a strong sense of community which is safe for students to move around freely. The design is highly efficient in terms of land use and supports expansion to the west to create a similar residential campus in the future.

The student experience was central to our design and essential to fostering an excellent experience. The student 'hub' is a focal point in our design, providing an area for people to relax, socialise and work. Helping to improve the way people use and work in the building, the roof form creates sheltered terraces, arcades and principal entrances, as well as over-shading to reduce glare in work areas.

The design challenged furniture manufacturers to move their thinking forward to deliver modern furniture pieces that create an aspirational interior design concept, while capturing the benefits of quality and durability. We have developed a simple, complimentary range of bespoke furniture items which have created a spacious room with a high spec feel.

In supporting students to make the space their own, the rooms integrate plenty of storage space, places to sit and relax, or socialise with friends as well as space to complete work and studies. Our design ensures the entry of natural light, helping to brighten the space and appeal to current and future students.
