Jestico + Whiles has completed the refurbishment of the fourth and fifth floors of the 1971 built Marylebone Building accommodating the architecture studios of the University of Westminster’s Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.
Jestico + Whiles worked closely with the Head of the Department of Architecture at the University of Westminster, Professor Harry Charrington, and his team to establish the brief and develop details in a very compressed programme.

The studios occupy a series of six-bays along the length of the Marylebone Campus and had been historically compromised by redundant and inflexible partitioning and subdivision. Jestico + Whiles’ design provides open plan and flexible studio spaces which meet student demand for bigger and better design studios that can be adapted to current and future needs.

The 2,500 sqm scheme restores the studios back to their original open plan ambience with improved acoustics, emphasising the double height grandeur. Specially designed mobile storage and display modules subdivide the spaces, providing generous pin up space and much needed storage. All services have been replaced and a multifunction room is fitted out with new AV equipment, automated blinds and purpose designed suspended display panelling.
