UHI Student Residences

In the development of a design proposal, the building has drawn influence from the Campus Masterplan Design Guidelines, which ensures that it integrates within the overall design intent of the site.

The building has been designed as two wings of accommodation that are arranged as separate buildings linked only by a single storey reception / office area. This endeavours to minimise the visual impact of the buildings within their setting and allow the wings to be set at differing angles, thus creating a more informal context and provide views within and through the site. The accommodation wings are three storeys in height and their proportions are dictated by the nationally accepted model of “cluster flats†that provide 6 single bedrooms with a shared kitchen and living room.
