Parkwood

The development comprises 92 student flats providing 520 study bedrooms, alongside ancillary accommodation and associated external works.

The layout arranges the accommodation around four courtyards with a central social, support and administration building. These spaces create a transition from public to private areas and encourage a sense of community within the development.

The scale, massing and height respond to the surrounding buildings, site topography and views from the surrounding countryside.

The Registry Office

A substantial extension to the Registry building, together with associated external works and landscaping.

The new building responds to the existing campus and introduces a reception hall linking the existing accommodation with new office space.

Large windows with solar shading provide natural light. Exposed concrete soffits and displacement ventilation support energy efficiency and internal comfort.

The reception uses profiled glass with areas of curtain walling. Office accommodation combines facing blockwork, powder-coated aluminium windows and cedar solar shading.
