Therese House
Full refurbishment of a student accommodation in Barbican that involved the complete remodelling of all 248 existing student bedrooms and all common and exterior spaces.
The new work delivered a modern “city living” feel with high quality materials, lighting and bespoke FF&E, all working within the existing room sizes, with value added through creating new studios and “twodios” in previously oversized cluster flats.
The key challenge faced by the design and construction team was meeting the strict completion deadline, with the works successfully completed in only 20 weeks.
Match were appointed as lighting consultants to work in close collaboration with the Design Team and Contractor to design and deliver the lighting for the reception, break out and exterior common areas, as well as for the various different types of bedrooms and studios, rolled out by contractor Thomas Sinden throughout the whole project.
