Carefully calibrated design
We proposed a sequence of three new quads whose sizes are carefully calibrated, based on detailed research of the scale of existing quads in Oxford colleges.
The buildings are arranged to provide much-needed clarity to the street frontages, with open sides that face onto the cricket field and controlled entry points to semi-private quads.
