This sustainable, modular development on Bartholomew Road in Kentish Town, London, provides 54 self-contained studios for students alongside 400 sq m of commercial space.

The building is respectful of its sensitive context alongside the Torriano Cottages Conservation Area. It replaced a redundant 1970s office block, and employment use has been reprovided as speculative commercial space. The design creatively addresses issues of privacy, amenity and density on the constrained urban site.
