This scheme is a new student housing building in the centre of Birmingham’s Gun quarter with a total of 156 studios and cluster units. The development provides all necessary amenities to residents and includes a secure communal entrance lobby, common room, gym, cinema room, laundry and cycle storage facilities. The front elevation proposes a red brick façade with soldier course detailing accentuating each floor level. The simple detailing, window proportions and materiality are reflective of the area’s industrial heritage, with characteristics drawn from the nearby canal side architecture.
