Our program of student amenities covers a reception lobby, designed to look like a typical concession display counter, post boxes designed to look like old haberdashery cabinetry. From the reception lobby you pass into a large communal study lounge, zoned via a series of half height partitions designed to mimic the forms of department store concession counters, externally they are clad in timber paneling with the internals being lined in acoustic fabric to control sound attenuation within the various study zones. To the rear of the spaces sits a feature display case and glazed screens leading into a separate karaoke and gaming den, games area.

At 1st floor sits a private dining space for up to 12 people with access onto a private roof terrace. Further amenity is provided at basement level with a large gym, studio, cinema room and launderette are provided.

The material palette looks to provide a contemporary twist on Victorian colours, patterns and details found within department stores. From rich blues in the feature wall paneling and industrial pendent lights to burnt oranges found in the acoustic fabric and carpets. Geometric tiling, dark stained veneers, heritage fabrics and reeded glass complete the look.
