WE ARE 74 A STAND-OUT STUDENT AMENITIES PROJECT 74 CREATES SOPHISTICATED STUDENT AMENITY SPACE FOR SYMONS HOUSE IN LEEDS, FOR CLIENT LONDON AND SCOTTISH STUDENT HOUSING Multi-award-winning interiors and architecture practice 74 has completed a stand-out student amenities project for client London and Scottish Student Housing within their new-build Symons House student accommodation block in Leeds. 74 also created the project’s branding and wayfinding. ARCHITECTURAL INSPIRATION: Symons House, designed by Leeds-based architectural practice Cunniff Design, takes the form of a reverse L-shape building, with seven storeys located on its lower horizontal plane and twentyone on the vertical upright section. Both the building’s ground and lower-ground storeys, where the amenities spaces are located, stand out by being indented from the main building above and also by featuring glazed walls.
