OWA were invited to develop proposals for a hall of residence on a site close to the centre of Cambridge.
Our scheme provides 300 bedrooms in two courtyard buildings fronting a new public route that reconnects the existing streets.
The ground floor provides an activate frontage, with a café and shop facing a new square and multiple entrances to the residential buildings to create a series of safe and vibrant spaces for students and the public. Being Cambridge, secure spaces for 300 bicycles are provided.
Up to 8 bedrooms are clustered around a kitchen and dining space to form smaller student communities.
