Homerton College, Cambridge - Harrison House

Martindales designed a new 64 unit keyworker building at Homerton College.  In this case the keyworkers are postgraduate students and research fellows.

On the first three floors the design is generated by forming a cluster of five en-suite study /  bedroom 'flat' modules around a kitchen and social space; each module has its own front door.  The fourth storey houses four self-contained research fellow flats.

The new bedrooms are designed to the highest standards with bespoke fitted furniture giving ample storage space. All the rooms are fitted with the latest IT equipment. The shower rooms are manufactured off-site giving total quality control to the design team and the client.

Martindales ensured that a fully functioning sample bedroom was designed at the start of the project as a datum for build quality and to ensure full participation and understanding of the design by all the members of the College.
