Oval Living, New Walk, Leicester

Large Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2019 Finalist

The Oval Living development has revitalised one of the few unused parcels of land on Leicester’s historic New Walk. The student accommodation project is designed for modern living and to be sympathetic to the local character.

Inspiration was drawn from the surrounding Victorian villas for the design, with natural daylight and ventilation achieved by large floor-to-ceiling windows and Juliet balconies.

The four storey Oval Living includes 54 studio apartments, laundry, cycle storage and a private landscaped garden. The internal specification of the studios is high, emulating the feel of a boutique hotel.
