Specialist student accommodation developer and operator Victoria Hall Management Ltd is seeking to deliver purpose-built student accommodation on a site adjacent to the forthcoming Bristol University Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. Chapman Taylor was commissioned to design the new development to be best in class student accommodation as well as an architecturally striking landmark.
High-quality accommodation in a superb location

Chapman Taylor’s design for the Avon Street site will provide 447 bedrooms and extensive communal amenity space across three buildings arranged around an open courtyard on the site of the former Chanson Foods facility, which sits beside Bristol’s famous Floating Harbour and adjacent to the proposed University Campus.
Meeting the needs of students and the city
Meeting the needs of students and the city
The concept was developed in consultation with Bristol City Council and stakeholders to ensure that the needs of students and the city were uppermost in the design's evolution. The proposed development will relieve some of the housing pressure on residential areas in the city and provide high-quality accommodation and shared facilities in a superb location.

The distinctive architecture of the buildings, which references the area's industrial past, and the nearby historic railway buildings and structures, will provide a readily identifiable landmark for passengers travelling in and out of Temple Meads station. The buildings will vary from eight to 12 storeys in height, with a standalone two-storey amenity hub on the Harbour side.
An active ground floor
