Property Refurbishment at 62 Ashby Road
62 Ashby Road recently underwent a monumental transformation from its prior existence as an office space. With planning permissions having been granted for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), the property now stands as a luxury student accommodation block catering to 20 bedrooms.
The design ethos was to provide a variety of living options to cater to the diverse needs of the student community. As such, the property has been meticulously divided as follows:
Seven-Bedroom Unit: Central to the building is the seven-bedroom unit. It is perfect for a group of students who wish to live together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences.
Two Five-Bedroom Units: To provide another option for group living but with a smaller crowd, there are two five-bedroom units. This size is ideal for close-knit groups looking for a mix of privacy and communal living.
Three One-Bedroom Units: Recognizing that some students value solitude or might be post-graduates in search of a quieter environment, three one-bedroom units have been established. These are perfect for individuals seeking a peaceful haven from the bustling student life.
Transitioning from an office to a student residence was no small feat. Here’s a closer look at the refurbishment process:
Space Repurposing: The earlier office layout was redesigned to prioritize both private and communal spaces essential for student living. This included creating spacious bedrooms, common living areas, and kitchens in each unit.
Infrastructure Upgrades: The pre-existing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems were evaluated and upgraded where necessary to meet the demands of residential accommodation.
Modern Amenities: In line with the luxury branding, modern amenities such as high-speed internet, en-suite bathrooms for all rooms, and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances were installed.
Interior Design: The interiors were done tastefully, with an emphasis on comfort and style. Modern furnishings, mood lighting, and cosy fixtures were sourced to provide students with a home-away-from-home experience.
Exterior Facelift: The exterior of the building also received attention. Landscaping and appropriate signage transformed the once office building into a welcoming student residence.
The transformation of 62 Ashby Road stands as a testament to innovative property refurbishment. By melding luxury with the practical needs of student life, it offers an exemplary living experience for its residents. Future students will undoubtedly cherish their memories here, and this reimagined property will play an integral role in their academic journey.
