New Landmark Project Approved
Our Rupert Street project was granted planning permission subject to legal agreements to provide 249 co-living residences and 328 student bedrooms alongside commercial and community spaces and public realm enhancements to Rupert Street and Lewins Mead. It was great to hear such positive comments on our design from the committee who went on to unanimously approve the proposal.
Co-Living as a housing model isn’t new to Bristol (our Project at Redcross Street is nearing completion on-site) but last night two hugely significant decisions at the Development Control Committee will bring affordable, high quality city-centre living with excellent support facilities to a much greater number of residents.
The team at Alec French Architects has put together a really unique building that resolves a great number of technical, spatial and architectural challenges within a rich envelope that gives back high quality of place to the city. We look forward to delivering this project over the coming years and extend huge thanks to our client and consultant team.
