Introducing the Norham St Edmund development
St Edmund Hall, one of the oldest colleges at the University of Oxford, is building a 127 bedroom development in North Oxford to provide homes for its undergraduates and postgraduate students.
The College is constructing an environmentally sustainable exemplar with three new Passivhaus buildings: the Villa, Park House and West House and remodelling the 1874 Victorian villa at Number 17 Norham Gardens. There will also be five beautifully landscaped and biodiverse gardens with an ecology pond in the space behind Number 19.
Designed by award winning Wright & Wright Architects, they have been inspired by the Gothic, Italianate, Arts and Crafts styles buildings and village-like enclaves in the NOVSCA (North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area). The connection between the buildings and the gardens and University Parks is of the utmost importance to the project, as visual and physical access between the two have been maintained.
The development will house undergraduates and postgraduates in separate buildings within the site, nurturing social interaction and wellbeing between both communities.
There will be:
• 127 student bedrooms; 120 are en-suite, five accessible and one ambulant disabled
• Five landscaped gardens
• Ecology pond & green roofs
• Undergraduate common room
• Postgraduate common room
• Reception area to provide artwork exhibition space
• Stunning views of Oxford University Parks
Together with college investment and alumni philanthropy, the Hall is creating the next generation of sustainable buildings and community at St Edmund Hall.
