Being at the forefront of girl’s education for over 160 years, Cheltenham Ladies College wanted their dormitories to showcase their forward-thinking, vibrant and diverse community with a contemporary design. With many boarders being international, the new design needed to welcome the students into a space, nurturing their productivity and enthusiasm. Another important requirement was to create more privacy for the multi-student dorm but continue the culture of a group dorm. We formed a central storage divide which provided lighting, power, noticeboards, and extra shelving. Not only did this give the girls more of their own space, but it also provided extra storage and pinnable space to contain their personal memories. We took advantage of all the additional space underbed to create the shoe storage, creating a much more efficient design for the college.
