The blog of Simon Kennedy, Architectural Photographer based in London.
The design by London-based MJP Architects, creates an inclusive and accessible building, with the experience of the student as its key concern. Student rooms form clusters, with shared amenities including kitchens and living rooms, and with varying room sizes to suit a range of budgets. With a triangular plan derived from the peculiarities of the site, the tower is a striking new landmark, and its acute-angled corners make it appear elegantly slim from all directions. The structure features beautifully controlled materials that change dramatically according to the light.
