Each solution is unique, balancing creativity with functionality, to complement the form and scale of the architecture and environment.
With depth and variety of expertise throughout our team, we deliver high quality internal environments across several sectors, in both the public and private markets.
Hollis Croft, Sheffield
HLM and Brookfield Student Real Estate (BSRE) set out to create more than just a new student accommodation in Sheffield. The goal was to create a community hub that would bring together the local university, businesses, commerce, and the wider community. The project, which opened its doors in September 2019, offers 972 student bed spaces and a range of ground floor facilities related to education and community uses.
HLM’s masterplanning approach included a series of public realm interventions to address the challenges posed by the complex and steeply sloping site. These interventions improved the accessibility and functionality of the built environment and transformed the connectivity and legibility of the local area, resulting in the creation of vibrant new places that encourage community spirit.
