Marsden House is a purpose-built halls of residence for Leeds Beckett University. Comprising 981 en-suite rooms within a variety of three to six-bedroom flats, the student accommodation is located in the heart of Leeds’ cultural city centre and the University’s City Campus.
A programme of refurbishment encompassed the conversion of a former on-site health club into a number of student communal areas, including a new gym and games complex, common room with cinema, plus individual study spaces. A dedicated residential laundry room was also revamped, with the completed project incorporating 810m2 of floor area.
Sheffield-based Self Architects developed the concept for the Marsden House project, with the interior design team drawing inspiration from the diversity of Leeds’ industrial heritage and its position as a major cultural centre for the North of England. This was reflected in the new amenity spaces, which made use of specific fabrics, lighting, materials and styling.
By utilising Amtico’s Signature collection of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), each communal area embraced a specific style of statement flooring. This was successfully achieved by blending a range of colours with eye-catching geometric shapes, including a chevron layout in the communal and games areas, along with a chequer board effect in the laundry room.
A standout floor design for the project was the complex herringbone scheme in the table tennis area, where a collection of meticulously structured Cirrus and Napoli floor created a lively and energetic space.
Commenting on Amtico, Helen Davis, Head Designer from Self Architects, said: “We used a wide variety of Amtico flooring throughout this refurbishment and I have really enjoyed specifying the products. We used the company’s Luxury Vinyl Tiles for both the floors and wall cladding, with the huge choice of designs and laying patterns helping to create a very slick and interesting zoned environment.”
Helen added: “Amtico was chosen for this project for a number of reasons. Firstly, the quality of the product is exceptional and secondly, there is a great selection of styles and designs on offer. Additionally, the high quality appearance made it a very easy task when specifying the right type of flooring for these differing areas.”
