Powis Place

Powis Place accommodates 196 student rooms with associated common, staff and ancillary areas, all arranged around a centrallandscaped courtyard with car parking beneath.

The building occupies a prominent urban block on one of the main approaches into Aberdeen. A bold, muscular form rendered in good quality materials defends the central courtyard from this busy urban world beyond.

The building comprises six storeys, the top two of which set back to create landscaped terraces and a diminishing scale to the quieter residential neighbourhood at the rear.
