The plans illustrate the evolution of student accommodation from 2010 to the present, highlighting alterations in layout and functionality.
Overall, the accommodation has undergone significant modifications to increase capacity and enhance utility, with the addition of bedrooms and the conversion of garden space for parking purposes.
In 2010, the accommodation layout comprised three student bedrooms, a centrally located shared bathroom, and a generously sized living room adjacent to one of the bedrooms. Access to these areas was facilitated by a hallway, which connected to a main entrance situated at the end. The entire building was enveloped by garden space on three sides, providing a pleasant outdoor environment for residents.
In contrast, the current layout has been reconfigured to include five student bedrooms, reflecting a notable increase in residential capacity. The previous living room has been eliminated, with two additional bedrooms now occupying this space. Importantly, the southeast bedroom has been supplemented with a private en-suite bathroom, thereby enhancing resident privacy and comfort. Furthermore, the kitchen has evolved into a combined kitchen/social area, fostering communal living. A significant transformation has also occurred externally, where a portion of the garden has been repurposed into a designated car parking area, illustrating a shift towards utilitarian convenience.
