Elder & Cannon lodge Woodlands student housing plans
January 5 2012
The £4m project will entail demolition of an existing Territorial Army drill hall whilst the Ballet School itself is refurbished.
In their design statement Elder & Cannon architects said: “The ambition within the proposed development is to create a unique environment and a sequence of appropriately scaled internal and external spaces which are conducive to contemplation, study and repose.
“The design strategy is essentially one of ‘good neighbourliness’ where the proposals encourage a positive exchange between all relevant stakeholders to their mutual long term benefit.”
Elder + Cannon are also behind a nearby residential scheme for Creme Developments on Great Western Road
Landscaping works will also be undertaken to backcourt areas

Student housing seems to be the project type of the moment. Nice project. Well done E&C!

We should start to build unemployed ex-student housing in tandem with all the new student housing going up lately.
But seriously, looks rather nice (and being Elder & Cannon I'm sure it will be).

Can someone explain how replacing a warehouse/storage building (current use of drill hall) with 100+ new student flats demonstrates a “strategy of ‘good neighbourliness’ where the proposals encourage a positive exchange between all relevant stakeholders to their mutual long term benefit.”
The builldings are handsome but please, not in my backyard!!!!!!
