Situated in the heart of London, in Bedford Square in an elegant Grade 1 listed terraced house is this new university. It offers an exciting innovation in UK higher education by offering a broader liberal arts education and professional development.

Our practice was asked to help NCH move into their new building which houses academic and administrative staff and is the central location where most of the teaching takes place. We worked to develop an interior architectural approach that both respected the historic nature of the building and provided suitable working and teaching spaces for a 21st century academic institution.
