The design rejects the use of conventional rooms in favour of playful bright yellow bespoke furniture, booths and nests, which work to sub-divide the space further and provide small-scale semi-enclosed interiors. Playing on the idea of a ‘home from home,’ the booths are house shaped, the nests contain super-sized ‘fatboy’ bean bags and domestic fittings including sofas, low slung chairs, rugs, wallpaper and lampshades. Russell Brown, partner at Hawkins\Brown, said: “We were really impressed with Coventry University’s willingness to innovate. They were absolutely determined to get the best environment for their students and for the City.”
