Royal Free Hub, University College London, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Burwell Deakins Architects, 2013. Detail of timber

---

A vibrant new student hub has been created in a formally underused space at Royal Free Hospital, providing students with a place to study, collaborate and relax. The hub is defined by a mix of high backed sofas creating intimate study spaces, shared tables offering spaces for group work, and a bar table along the window wall providing naturally lit workspaces. The kitchen is separated from the main hub by a slatted oak screen and provides generous tables and benches for communal gathering, combined with pendant lights that give the space an inviting domestic feel.
