Urban Creation’s redevelopment of 71 Park Street and 18 Charlotte Street transformed a bomb‑damaged, sloping corner plot in central Bristol into modern student accommodation with a ground-floor commercial unit. The scheme reinstated the five upper storeys lost during the Second World War and delivers 22 high‑quality studios alongside a flexible retail space .
Kitto Joinery designed, manufactured and installed bespoke shopfront and façade joinery. Because the site sits on a steep gradient, the windows stepped down along Park Street; each frame was crafted to precise dimensions. The façade combines timber‑framed glazing and aluminium screens. Kitto also supplied internal joinery—doors, skirtings and bespoke furniture—and coordinated closely with contractor Champion Build and Shu Architects to meet a tight programme. Urban Creation commended Kitto for “brilliantly delivered” work with “great attention to detail.”
Studios feature contemporary interiors, well‑equipped kitchens and en‑suite bathrooms. A central MVHR system provides fresh air while recovering heat, and airtight construction delivers air‑loss scores as low as 1–2 . Safety is enhanced by a quantum fog water‑mist fire system . Residents enjoy on‑site laundry, 24/7 support and all-inclusive bills .
The redevelopment restores Park Street’s historic character, injects new life into the retail frontage and supplies premium student accommodation. It showcases how modern technology, thoughtful design and quality joinery can revitalise a challenging urban site.
