Pickstock Construction and sister company Elements Europe has delivered for the group, a brand new student accommodation scheme in Plymouth.

Pickstock Construction built two blocks of student accommodation on land in Plymouth’s city centre that was once home to redundant and unattractive garages. The first building, 13 storeys high and the second, 10 storeys high.

Jefferson Sheard’s team of architects worked hard to ensure the design is in line with the local vernacular. The design features massing which is stepped with the apex of the southern elevation and the upper storeys set back from the main façade and glazed so to soften the scale of the building. Limestone will also be sourced locally for the ground floor façade.

Pickstock Construction’s sister company Elements Europe provided a modular solution to both blocks of accommodation. For Block A, the taller of the two buildings, Room Modules and kitchen modules were manufactured.

Pickstock Construction built Block B traditionally, featuring 60 rooms. Elements Europe manufactured 60 Bathroom Pods for this part of the development.
