James Lighthill Annexe Building, Islington

Details

The development adds 20 new study bedrooms to an existing hall of residence in a densely developed area of central London.

Built against a boundary wall, the rooms are single aspect and complete a formally landscaped traditional college 'quad'.

An attached, curved, translucent façade provides privacy to full height windows and directs views away from rooms opposite without diminishing natural light.

Two wheelchair-accessible rooms are included and each floor has shared kitchen and dining facilities.
