Thoughtfully designed and sustainably built, this UAL development offers outstanding student living in the heart of creative Peckham.
This cutting-edge project for the University of the Arts London (UAL) on the former Whitten Timber site in Peckham, offers exceptional student accommodation and postgraduate workspace, further enhancing Peckham’s reputation as a vibrant, creative hub.
The development comprises 393 student rooms, including 343 bedrooms and 50 studio units, alongside outstanding communal facilities such as a cinema room, games room and common rooms. Situated on a highly accessible site bordered by the Surrey Canal Walk park and just a short stroll from Peckham Rye station, this purpose-built accommodation provides students with a unique blend of modern convenience and tranquil surroundings.
The project incorporated modern methods of construction, such as fully insulated cladding with brick-faced panels and prefabricated bathroom pods, ensuring sustainable and efficient building practices.
The development’s prime location provides excellent transport links, with convenient access to Peckham Rye station and a wide network of bus routes connecting students to UAL campuses across London. With its thoughtful design and focus on sustainability, this project underscores Hollybrook’s commitment to creating spaces that support academic excellence and community enrichment.
