Stelling Properties has released the CGI interior visuals of the communal areas at 119 High Street, marking a key milestone for our largest modular student accommodation development to date.
The designs provide an early look at how the shared spaces within the building will support modern student living, combining functionality, comfort and a strong sense of place. Student living provider Unilife will operate and manage the completed modular PBSA building.
Thoughtfully designed communal spaces
The communal interiors at 119 High Street have been carefully designed by Hastie Studios to support everyday student life. The layouts balance social and quieter spaces, allowing residents to study, relax and connect within a welcoming environment.
Material choices, lighting and furniture layouts have been selected to create warm, durable and practical spaces that encourage interaction while remaining calm and comfortable throughout the building.
Delivered through modular construction
As with the wider development, the communal areas at 119 High Street are being delivered using modular construction. This approach enables greater quality control, consistency and efficiency by coordinating interior design alongside offsite manufacturing.
Manufacturing elements offsite supports a more controlled build process, reduced disruption in the city centre and greater certainty in programme and delivery, while maintaining a high standard of finish throughout the scheme.
Supporting wellbeing and community

These shared environments are integral to student wellbeing, providing flexible spaces that adapt to different needs throughout the day.
