We were appointed to design a new student accommodation scheme in Bristol City Centre. The 9-storey, 8,575m2 accommodation block provides 357 student bedspaces, and delivered specifically to support the University of Bristol. The project sits in the Redcliff Development Quarter of Bristol and forms an important part of the exciting regeneration of the area. The demolition of an existing office block facilitated the delivery of the new student accommodation, which comprises a mix of cluster flats and studios, student social areas, a dedicated courtyard, commercial space, laundry facilities and games area. The building is one of the very first in Bristol to connect to the Council-run district heating network, ensuring delivery of a new low-carbon building that forms the first stage of transforming Bristol into a carbon-neutral city by 2050
