ArchitecturePLB has instructed Ubu to work on the external designs for a new student halls of residence in Southampton. Prominently located on the edge of Houndwell Park, the scheme will turn a run down former nightclub and retail site into attractive accommodation for 238 students.

Proposed landscaping features for the scheme at Vincent’s Walk include an enhanced public realm that better connects people with the City’s bus service interchange and a courtyard with clearly defined private and public spaces for social interaction and reflection.

The scheme at Vincent’s Walk is part of Ubu’s growing portfolio of student accommodation projects that include Mayflower Halls, Chamberlain Hall and Stapleton House.
