Nestled along the Union Canal at Lower Gilmore Place, Keel Houses redefines student co-living. Combining well-being, community and a considered architectural scale with fresh, distinctive design.We developed the full brand identity, interior design, and wayfinding strategy, ensuring every touchpoint felt connected and purposeful.

The brand’s clean, approachable aesthetic is reflected in a signage system that uses natural materials and a calm colour palette, lifted with playful accents of red to add energy and ease of navigation.

Inside, 69 student apartments maximise every inch of space with bespoke joinery, smart storage solutions, and tranquil finishes. Ensuite bathrooms, compact kitchens, and natural light give students comfort and quality, while design details such as robe-headboard joinery with integrated lighting show how practicality and style can work hand in hand.

Shared amenity spaces including cinema and games rooms, private dining and flexible lounges foster a sense of community while respecting the need for privacy. The result is a student residence that feels warm, human, and vibrant, let in full before completion.
