Robertson has delivered Straits Village, a well-designed, environmentally sustainable student accommodation project on Huntingdon Street in Nottingham city centre. It accommodates growing numbers of students attending various universities nearby, as well as addressing increasing numbers living in houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs) in Nottingham.
This student accommodation on Huntingdon Street provides self-contained living in a high-quality residential setting, giving students a perfect experience.
A mix of cluster rooms, twin clusters, studios and townhouses of varying sizes cater for a range of students – from those making their their first move from home through to postgraduates.
A combination of communal lounges and study areas, entertainment and fitness facilities and outdoor spaces encourage social interaction.
The development also includes:
Robertson worked in partnership with our customer, the architects, principal designer and consultants to design and develop the scheme through RIBA Stage 4 technical Design.
Before construction, we completed asbestos removal, demolition works of an existing building, site clearance and all associated drainage and external works.
The building incorporates a holistic view of environmental sustainability in the way it is designed and engineered. Biodiversity is designed in to the landscaping.
Energy efficiency in the buildings is controlled through a combination of the architecture, technical systems, construction and the behaviour of the students.
The building is designed to minimise energy consumption through passive means.
