This project, won through a design competition, responds to King’s College’s pressing need for new accommodation by intensifying the current use of their Cranmer Road site to create a focused graduate campus, delivering 59 additional graduate rooms within two new architecturally distinct buildings: a linear garden building and a villa building that takes its place among the arts and crafts villas of the residential road. Designed to be familiar, quietly assured buildings of the everyday, they are nevertheless outstanding in their Passivhaus environmental performance.
