Get in touch to discuss your upcoming development.

PBSA Design

Architectural design for the development has been led by Chapman Taylor.

The scheme has been designed to maximise its waterfront location while creating a welcoming and secure environment for residents. The buildings are arranged around a central courtyard, creating shared outdoor spaces that connect the different accommodation blocks and communal facilities.

A key feature of the scheme is the active ground floor, which faces the surrounding streets, courtyard and waterside. The ground floor will include a highly visible reception space designed to enhance security for residents and visitors while maintaining views through the building toward the harbour.

High-quality amenity spaces are now a key part of successful PBSA developments, helping create environments where students can study, socialise and relax outside of their private rooms.

Thoughtful interior design and carefully selected FF&E play an important role in shaping these spaces, creating environments that are both functional and visually engaging. The Avon Street scheme brings together a collaborative team of architects, designers and construction specialists to deliver a development that balances strong architectural design with well-considered communal interiors.

Amenities and Student Experience

The development will provide a wide range of shared facilities designed to support student life alongside the 447 student bedrooms across the three accommodation buildings.

These include:

• Reception and entrance areas

• Shared lounges and social spaces

• Study rooms and quiet working areas

• Games and relaxation areas

• Laundry facilities

• Extensive communal amenity spaces

• A standalone amenity hub building

• Landscaped courtyard and outdoor communal areas

Communal spaces are a defining feature of modern PBSA developments, creating environments where students can socialise, study and relax while supporting a strong sense of community within the building.

Sustainability and Development Standards

The development is targeting a BREEAM Excellent sustainability rating, reflecting the growing focus on environmental performance within modern purpose-built student accommodation developments in the UK.

The scheme has also secured Gateway 2 approval under the Building Safety Act 2022, a key regulatory milestone required before construction can proceed on higher-risk residential buildings.

The project is currently under construction, with completion expected ahead of the 2026 academic year.

The Development Team

The Avon Street PBSA development in Bristol brings together a number of experienced partners across the property, design and construction sectors.

The project is being delivered as a joint venture between Host Student Housing and Corebridge Real Estate Investors.

Host, a specialist PBSA operator, will manage the 447-bed student accommodation scheme once construction is complete.

Architectural design for the development has been led by Chapman Taylor.

Construction of the development is being led by GMI Construction Group, with the project reaching a key milestone when the buildings topped out in October 2025.

Inspired Projects are responsible for the design of several communal amenity spaces within the scheme, including reception areas and the standalone amenity hub.

Inspired Projects’ Role

Inspired Projects has over 20 years’ experience working across the PBSA sector, delivering design, refurbishment and fit-out projects throughout the UK. Alongside its sister companies Ametros and TSS, the wider group offers a full range of services supporting PBSA developments from concept through to delivery and ongoing operational support.

Inspired Projects are responsible for the design and fit-out of several communal areas within the development, helping transform shared spaces into welcoming environments for students.

The interior design for the amenity spaces, reception areas and standalone amenity hub has been developed by Maryann Cooper of Inspired Projects, with a focus on creating modern, functional interiors that support both study and social interaction.

The Avon Street project reflects Inspired Projects’ ongoing involvement in major PBSA developments across the UK, working alongside developers, architects and contractors to deliver high-quality communal environments within modern student accommodation schemes.

Supporting Bristol’s Growing Student Population

As Bristol continues to grow as a major university city, developments such as the Avon Street PBSA Bristol project play an important role in delivering high-quality student accommodation while supporting the wider Temple Quarter regeneration.

With construction progressing well, the scheme will become a key addition to Bristol’s evolving student living landscape ahead of the 2026 academic year.

1. The Problem With Fixed-Function PBSA Amenity Spaces

Many schemes design amenities around a single defined purpose: 

• A cinema room that can only function as a cinema 
• A study room that feels institutional 
• A gym sized for brochure impact rather than usage patterns 

The risk is rigidity. Student behaviour changes faster than building fabric. 

Spaces that cannot flex become underutilised — and underutilised space is dead capital. 

2. Designing for Student Behaviour, Not Branding 

Amenity spaces age well when they are designed around how students actually live.

Students typically want informal social interaction, flexible study environments, hybrid work capability, and wellness space without intimidation.

The most resilient amenity environments blend functions – study by day, social by evening.

Brand identity still plays an important role in shaping the look and feel of a space, but it should support the way students use the environment rather than dictate it. When design reflects both the operator’s brand and the realities of student behaviour, spaces tend to remain relevant for much longer.

3. Furniture as Infrastructure: Designing Flexible Spaces

Design principles that age well include loose furniture layouts, reconfigurable seating, durable but replaceable upholstery, and integrated power access.

Furniture should be considered part of the infrastructure of a space rather than simply decoration. When layouts can evolve without structural changes, operators can adapt environments as student needs change.

In many projects this also means introducing bespoke furniture elements that are designed specifically for the space. Working with British manufacturers allows these pieces to be tailored to the scheme while ensuring quality, durability and shorter lead times – something that can be particularly valuable during refurbishment or summer works.

4. Material Selection and Wear Strategy

Amenity spaces carry significantly higher footfall than bedrooms. 

Best practice includes zoning materials by traffic intensity, selecting finishes that patina rather than deteriorate, and designing feature elements that can be refreshed independently. 

A well-considered refresh strategy can avoid full-strip refurbishments. 

5. Lighting Design That Evolves Over Time

Lighting is one of the fastest-dating design elements in shared environments. What feels dramatic or atmospheric at launch can quickly feel outdated as design trends shift.

Amenity spaces that age well combine ambient, task and feature lighting, allowing operators to adjust the atmosphere of a space throughout the day. Scene control enables the same environment to transition from study space to social setting without physical changes.

Prioritising warmth, comfort and flexibility over visual drama tends to create spaces that remain appealing for longer. Upgradable lighting systems also allow schemes to improve energy performance over time.

Thoughtful lighting strategies can also reduce long-term operational costs. Selecting durable fittings, energy-efficient LED systems and accessible maintenance points can significantly reduce replacement and servicing requirements over the life of the building.

6. Future-Proofing Technology in Amenity Spaces

Technology ages faster than architecture. 

A smarter approach includes portable display systems, adaptable power distribution, scalable WiFi infrastructure, and avoiding overinvestment in fixed tech features. 

Designing for plug-and-play upgrades protects long-term capital efficiency. 

7. Operational Reality Check

Amenity spaces that age poorly often suffer from cleaning complexity, poor supervision sightlines, and finishes that are difficult to maintain.

From an operational perspective, design decisions need to prioritise visibility, durable acoustic treatments, and surfaces that can be cleaned quickly and regularly.

When these considerations are overlooked, operational costs tend to rise quickly. More intensive cleaning regimes, frequent repairs, and premature replacement of finishes can significantly increase the long-term cost of managing the building.

Good design at the outset helps avoid these issues, allowing spaces to remain attractive and functional without creating unnecessary operational burden for site teams.

8. Designing for Refurbishment Cycles

Amenity spaces should be planned with refurbishment cycles in mind from the outset: a soft refresh around year five, more meaningful reconfiguration at year ten, and technical upgrades as required.

Design choices that allow flooring replacement, modular joinery updates, and efficient summer works can make a significant difference when refurbishment periods arrive.

When buildings are designed without these considerations, upgrades often become more disruptive and expensive than they need to be. Spaces may require partial strip-outs simply because materials, layouts, or services were not designed with future changes in mind.

By contrast, schemes that anticipate refurbishment cycles can refresh spaces more efficiently, reducing downtime during summer works and protecting long-term capital budgets.

9. Commercial Performance Over Time

Amenity space does not directly generate rent, but it influences leasing velocity, brand perception, retention rates and market differentiation. 

A well-performing amenity strategy can support rental premiums and reduce incentives. 

Designing to age well is about protecting embedded value. 

10. The Refurbishment Mindset

The strongest amenity spaces are often those designed by teams who understand refurbishment realities. 

When designers understand how finishes fail and how buildings are maintained, they design differently from the outset. 

Refurbishment thinking is preventative asset management.

11.The Next Phase of PBSA Amenity Design

As the sector matures, amenity design will move away from spectacle and toward adaptability. 

The schemes that outperform long-term will be the ones whose spaces can evolve without excessive capital intervention. 

Amenity spaces that age well are flexible platforms designed with lifecycle intelligence. 

How a Specialist Partner Can Help

Designing amenity spaces that perform well over time requires more than creative ideas. It demands a detailed understanding of how student accommodation operates and how buildings evolve throughout their lifecycle.

It requires:

• A deep understanding of student behaviour and how shared spaces are actually used day to day.
• The ability to translate an investment strategy into layouts, materials, furniture and amenity environments that remain relevant for years to come.
• A delivery strategy that aligns with academic calendars and allows refurbishment works to be completed efficiently during summer turnaround periods.

This is where Inspired Projects operates. We specialise in end-to-end design and build solutions for PBSA, helping operators and investors refresh existing assets so they remain competitive without unnecessary capital spend.

When amenity spaces are designed with flexibility, durability and future upgrades in mind, refurbishment becomes a strategic tool rather than a reactive cost.

Why refurbishment is a void mitigation tool, not just a facelift

A well planned refurbishment programme does more than refresh finishes. Done properly, it directly targets the drivers of voids:

• Product market fit: Aligning unit mix, room size, and amenity provision with actual demand (course mix, domestic versus international, postgraduate versus undergraduate).

• Competitive differentiation: Moving an asset from “commodity” to “first choice” in its micro market through a clearly superior offer.

• Operational efficiency: Designs that support better management, reduced maintenance, and smoother operations, all of which enable a stronger service offer.

In a market where students often compare options online long before they arrive in city, “best in class within your price band” becomes a powerful defence against voids. When a scheme visibly outperforms peers on design, practicality, and experience, it protects occupancy even as weaker buildings around it struggle.

What “void focused” refurbishment actually looks like

From a fund or IC perspective, refurbishment only makes sense if it has a clear through line to occupancy and NOI. That means treating it as a business plan, not a shopping list.

Key elements include:

• Data driven scope: Using occupancy patterns, feedback, and pricing data to decide which rooms, clusters, and amenities to prioritise and which to leave alone.

• Targeted specification: Investing where students feel the difference every day, beds, storage, lighting, acoustics, bathrooms, kitchens, study and social spaces, rather than chasing design trends for their own sake.

• Amenity with purpose: Study lounges, collaboration areas, wellness spaces, and secure, well designed entrances that respond to how students actually live and learn now.

• Compliance and ESG upgrades: Integrating fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency improvements into the design so that capital deployed today also derisks future regulatory and reputational exposure.

The outcome investors are looking for is simple: higher share of demand in that micro market, stronger rebooking, reduced incentives, and better pricing power over time.

How investment committees evaluate refurbishment strategies

Institutional capital is not afraid of capex, it is afraid of opaque capex. To see refurbishment as a genuine void mitigation strategy, investment and credit committees typically look for:

• A clear before and after income story: Where are occupancy, rents, and incentives today, and where can they realistically be post refurbishment?

• Evidence of demand for quality: Insights on student preferences and competitor benchmarking that show students will pay, or choose you first, for improved specification and amenities.

• Phasing and disruption planning: A programme that maintains as much trading income as possible during works, with minimal impact on student experience and brand.

• Capex to NOI linkage: A direct line from each major spend item to either higher rent, higher occupancy, or reduced operating cost.

When these elements are robust, refurbishment shifts from “nice to have” to a defensible strategy to protect long income characteristics in a changing market.

The opportunity for funds: defend today, future proof tomorrow

In high risk or transitioning markets, refurbishment will not eliminate macro risk, but it can materially improve relative performance. The assets that will keep trading well are those that:

• Are visibly student centric in their design.

• Meet or exceed evolving compliance and ESG expectations.

• Offer a consistently better living and learning experience than the competition.

For funds, that means refurbishment is not just about today’s leasing cycle. It is about keeping assets in the “core hold” bucket rather than drifting into “sell or write down” territory over the next 5–10 years.

How a specialist partner can help

Designing and delivering this kind of refurbishment is a specialist task. It requires:

• Deep understanding of student behaviour and PBSA operations.

• The ability to translate an investment thesis into room layouts, materials, and amenity mixes that actually move the needle on occupancy.

• A build and phasing strategy that respects academic calendars and minimises void loss during works.

That is exactly where Inspired Projects operates: we specialise in end to end design and build for PBSA, focused specifically on using refurbishment to protect income, reduce void risk, and future proof assets.

If you are reviewing a PBSA portfolio and see assets where occupancy is starting to dip, or where specification is clearly lagging the local benchmark, now is the time to consider refurbishment as a strategic void mitigation tool, not a discretionary spend.

Why Amenity Design Matters More Than Ever

Single-purpose amenity spaces often correlate with higher churn, and churn comes at a cost. Each re-let can cost £250–£450 per bed, before accounting for voids or lost rent.

BTR mitigates this risk by distributing smaller, multi-functional spaces throughout a building. These areas support everyday activities – studying, working, socialising, and relaxing – and remain valuable even at lower occupancy levels.

The result?
Lower churn, longer stays, and more predictable cash flow.

While older PBSA buildings can’t be redesigned from scratch, experienced specialists like Inspired Projects can rework layouts, subdivide space, and redesign underperforming areas to deliver outcomes that stand up to, and outperform new-build PBSA and BTR schemes.

What This Shift Means for Investors and Lenders

Amenity space is no longer about visual impact alone. It has become a strategic lever for operational performance and financial resilience.

BTR is quietly attracting students through thoughtful lifestyle-led design. PBSA schemes that fail to evolve risk higher turnover, greater reliance on discounting, and more volatile income streams.

Forward-thinking operators are already adapting – breaking down oversized lounges into usable zones, creating quieter and work-oriented areas, and designing spaces that function every day, not just during peak social hours.

These changes deliver tangible results: improved retention, stronger occupancy, and enhanced valuation and refinancing outcomes.

Amenity is no longer a marketing feature – it’s a strategic asset.

Who are Inspired Projects

Inspired Projects is a Manchester based design, development and fit-out company delivering refurbishment and redevelopment projects across student accommodation, build to rent, hospitality and leisure, and commercial workspaces.

We have over 20 years’ experience working with student accommodation providers, operators and asset managers across the UK and Ireland. Over time, our work has expanded into build to rent, hotels, bars and restaurants, affordable living, offices and wider commercial environments, with many clients returning to us across multiple projects and schemes.

What We Do

Inspired Projects delivers high-quality redevelopment and refurbishment projects, from full building schemes through to phased refurbishments and targeted upgrade works. We support clients with both the repositioning of existing assets and the delivery of new developments, always taking a practical, design-led approach.

A significant part of our work sits within PBSA (Purpose-Built Student Accommodation) and the wider student accommodation sector. We work directly with student accommodation providers across the UK and Ireland, many of whom come to us to upgrade existing schemes.

This often includes refurbishing amenity spaces, improving bedrooms, and creating more premium, contemporary environments that allow existing buildings to compete with newer student accommodation developments entering the market. These projects are typically driven by changing expectations from students and the need for schemes to remain commercially competitive over time.

Alongside refurbishment and upgrade projects, Inspired Projects also delivers new student accommodation schemes, working with clients from early-stage development through to completion.

Our experience in student accommodation spans more than two decades and is strengthened further through our sister businesses, Ametros Facilities Management and The Student Shed. This broader experience gives us valuable operational insight, helping to inform design decisions and delivery approaches that work not just at handover, but long after a project is complete.

Beyond student accommodation, we deliver projects within build to rent, working across apartments and shared resident spaces, as well as hospitality and leisure, including hotels, bars and restaurants where quality, presentation and consistency are key. We also work across affordable living, workspaces and wider commercial environments, applying the same considered approach regardless of sector.

How We Work

Every project we undertake is treated as a unique opportunity. From the initial brief, we take the time to understand the project objectives, constraints and commercial drivers before shaping the delivery approach.

Our in-house, multidisciplinary team of designers, surveyors and project managers delivers projects from concept through to completion. By managing each stage from feasibility and design through to fit-out and handover – we provide a clear, structured process that supports consistently high standards and commercially successful outcomes.

Where required, we work alongside a trusted extended team of specialist consultants, allowing us to deliver a fully integrated service tailored to the needs of each project.

Who We Work With

Inspired Projects works with student accommodation providers, developers, operators, asset managers and property owners across the UK and Ireland. Our clients value a straightforward, professional approach and the reassurance of working with a team that understands both delivery and long-term building performance.
