Edinburgh’s latest student residential proposal has entered the consultation process with views being sought on a purpose-built development at 36 Russell Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ardent Group has teamed up with 7N Architects<\/a> to take on the brownfield in a pocket of light industry to the west of the city, spurred by new active travel connections to the isolated site.<\/p>\n

Tucked away behind railway infrastructure the plans introduce an active street frontage and have been conceived with future development in mind, permitting coordinated development of neighbouring plots.<\/p>\n

In a consultation statement, 7N wrote: “We are currently refining the building\u2019s massing and developing the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ades. The building\u2019s proposed material palette has taken references from the local context which is primarily of a brick and metal industrial vernacular. In particular we have taken influence from profiled colourful metalwork and glazed tiles found on the bridges along Russell Road.”<\/p>\n

The L-plan block would frame a south-facing amenity space incorporating swales and rain gardens and is projected to commence on site by January 2027, approvals permitting.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 22 2025 Edinburgh’s latest student residential proposal has entered the consultation process with views being sought on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[7530,748,54341,1102,4884,13065,12,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-122083","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-architecture-in-the-uk","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-developers-alight-on-a-forgotten-corner-of-west-edinburgh","11":"tag-edinburgh","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-may-2025","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-scotland","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114550619707880004","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
