Student Cribs - Bishop Blackhall, Exeter

Project Overview: Interior Design for Period Student Accommodation Refurbishment 

Nelson and Long were commissioned to develop a distinctive and tailored interior concept and specification for the refurbishment of this historic period property, transforming it into a fresh and functional student accommodation. 

The design centered on key spaces including bedrooms, kitchens, lounges, corridors, and stunning entrance, complemented by feature lighting and thoughtfully curated accessories. Balancing heritage with contemporary student living, the design introduces a refined and creative colour palette and thoughtfully selected finishes and furniture to highlight the building’s architectural details, creating an interior that respects the past while elevating the student experience for the future.

A comprehensive concept presentation, detailed sketches, and a full specification package were created to provide support for both client investment meetings and the installation process. Our approach allowed flexibility for a phased refurbishment, ensuring the space could evolve seamlessly over time while keeping budget considerations in mind.
