Project Scope

Cartwright Gardens is a new student accommodation for the University of London. The existing buildings with the exclusion of the 14 storey Hughes Parry Tower, were demolished and replaced with a new building. The Hughes Parry Tower has been refurbished, which included replacing all internal and external finishes, as well as two upper floors.

​

Cartwright Gardens has now been increased to 1200 student rooms, with an outstanding grand entrance to the building. Sussex Stone & Ceramic fabricated the geometrical stone pattern and lettering to the external entrance of the building using their state-of-the art water-jetting machinery. The pattern was created using four different types of stone: Sienna Beige, Emperador Llight, Gold Travertine & Nerinea.

​

The unique four-stone pattern entrance has become a striking attraction and works well with the design of the rest of the Cartwright building.
