Sixth Form Success

When it comes to your boarding houses, parents and students are discerning.

Boarding houses are an important part of the decision making process when selecting a school and the chances are that parents and students will visit a number of boarding schools to really get a ‘feel’ as to whether their sons and daughters would be comfortable, happy and inspired whilst living there.

School boarding house design is a delicate balance between home and school. It is important to ensure your students feel safe and welcome.

Our designs for your boarding house will add value in an elegant yet mature style and make your boarding house an attractive proposition for students of any age.

Make their home from home

School boarding houses should be thought of as a home from home, yet be durable enough to withstand extensive daily use.

Our school boarding house design service offers you the experience of specialist school environment design with quality sturdy furniture for prolonged use.

We apply creative touches to help ensure your students’ boarding experience is the best that it can be.

Boarding house interior design

Our experienced team of school designers will take your vision and convert it into a comprehensive design scheme using your floor plan.

Working from 2D space plans and 3D visualisations, along with mood boards and finishes samples, we’ll ensure you are totally happy with the design concepts before we proceed to build.

We’re always keen to involve user groups of students and staff in our design strategy with our Studyspace research programme to help you achieve the best long-term results.

Boarding houses within listed buildings

We design boarding environments in listed buildings, as well as newer boarding houses.

We work hard to enhance the architecture of the building, as well as maximising comfort and space efficiency.

We work with you to create spaces that either stand out or seamlessly integrate depending on your preference – either way our intelligently designed spaces act as a showpiece for your prospectuses and promotional literature.
