This scheme comprised four main elements: stabilisation of structure; conservation of fabric; sympathetic reordering of existing rooms and and the creation of new accommodation to the rear of the building. 37 high quality student rooms were created, together with two internal linked courtyards, defined by two new wings - one of 2 storeys and the other of four - greating two new 'stairs' in the established collegiate tradition. Our ability to preserve the interior and exterior Georgian, domestic integrity of the properties, integrated with a sustainable accommodation solution in the collegiate tradition, earned the project a prestigious Oxford Preservation Trust Award in 2008.
